Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Rinse the dried chickpeas under cold water and then soak them in a large bowl of water overnight. This softens them and reduces cooking time.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chickpeas

    Drain the soaked chickpeas and place them in a pot with 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until tender. Add salt halfway through cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Seasoning

    In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, cumin seeds, minced garlic, chili powder, and lemon juice to create a flavorful seasoning mix.

  4. 4

    Combine and Garnish

    Once the chickpeas are cooked, drain them and combine them with the seasoning mix. Stir in the chopped fresh coriander. Adjust the salt and spices to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Dhoble warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional coriander if desired.
