Notes

Soak with chickpeas overnight (minimum 6-8hours) in water so that water is just the double amount of the chickpeas.
In case you forget to soak chickpeas you can boil water and pour the steaming hot water on chickpeas and soak it for 2 hours, your chickpeas would be read.
PRessure cook the chickpeas for 10 minutes to boil them. Don’t forget to add salt while boiling chickpeas then you would need less salt in the salad.
