How to Soak Chickpeas (Chana)?

To perfectly soak the chickpeas, add in a bowl, and wash with running tap water.

Now deeply fill the bowl with water so the chickpeas can stay there to soak.

Cover the bowl.

Leave the chickpeas in deep-filled water for about 7 to 8 hours.

After that, the chickpeas will be double in size.

Now drain the water and wash the chickpeas. Now it's ready to boil.

How to boil Chickpeas?

Add the chickpeas to a pan.

Fill the pan with water. If there is 2 Cups of soaked chickpeas then add 1-liter water to pan.

Add salt and baking soda (½ Tsp for 2 Cups soaked chickpeas).

Cover and cook for about 1 hour on high to medium heat.

Initially keep the temperature high for 5 t 6 minutes. As the chickpeas started to boil then turn the heat to medium.

If baking soda is coming out of pan then remove the white part using a spoon.

Cover again and let it cook for 1 hour.

After 1 hour check the chickpeas and use it to make your chana chaat.
