  6. Shaista,thanx for visiting my blog.
    I saw the black chickpeas at the supermarket& thought they look very interesting to make.
    I will make sure to try your recipe..but I have a question you just soak them overnight?
    When I cook regular chickpeas I always soak & boil until cooked..is this different?
