Step 1
Chickpea preparation. Unfortunately, it takes a long time. Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 9–11 hours. Standard ratio: 1 cup of chickpeas to 3 cups of water. After soaking, the chickpeas should be boiled. Cook for one hour in boiling water. Ten minutes before cooking is complete, add salt to taste.
