- In case you miss to soak the white chick peas at night then soak it in the boil water for two hours at max. And pressure cook it for 20-25 mins.
- If you the white chick peas at 10.00 pm in the night and you use it in the morning around 8.30 am then 5-6 whistle is enough for it.
- Use of grated ginger & cumin seeds is to avoid the smell of uncooked oil.
