Steps

45 minutes
  1. 1

    Rinse the chickpeas in a bowl and soak them in fresh water overnight. Drain and rinse the chickpeas again. Turn on the stove and place a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the soaked chickpeas, garlic cloves, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, green cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns, bay leaves, tea bag, water, and salt. Make sure the water is about 2 inches above the chickpeas. Mix well and pressure cook on medium heat for 3 to 4 whistles. Turn off the heat and let the cooker cool before opening. Once cooled, check if the chickpeas are cooked.
