Ingredients
- ½ cup Dried white chickpeas (Chole or kabuli chana or safed chana)
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 ½ cups Water for cooking chickpeas
- 4 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 cloves Garlic
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Plain yogurt (dahi or curd)
- 4-5 tablespoons Water or as needed
- Olive oil to drizzle on top
- Red chili powder or paprika to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Wash the dried chickpeas under running cold water till water runs clear. Or you can rinse them 3-4 times or till the water is no more cloudy.
- Soak them in enough water for 8 hours or overnight.
- After the soaking time, discard the water. Take soaked chickpeas in a pressure cooker. Add 1 ½ cups of water and baking soda. Cover with the lid.
- Pressure cook them for 2 whistles on HIGH and then 15 minutes on LOW heat. Let the pressure go down by itself then open the lid. Drain the cooking water.
- Take chickpeas in a grinder jar or food processor.
- Add garlic, tahini and yogurt. Squeeze the lemon juice.
- Grind into smooth paste. As needed you can add water. I have used around 4 tablespoons of water to get the smooth paste. Do not add too much water that it gets runny. We are looking for thick paste.
