• Let's add tomato paste to our food and fry for 1-2 more minutes, then add boiled chickpeas. To use in this recipe, I kept 2 cups of chickpeas in hot water for 3-4 hours, then cooked them in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes. The cooking time will vary according to the type of chickpea, it is useful to be under control.
