How to Cook TRS Chick Peas 500g

Step 1: Soaking (Essential)

Place the desired quantity of TRS Chick Peas in a large bowl and cover generously with cold water — chickpeas will roughly double in size. Soak for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly before cooking. Do not skip this step — soaking reduces cooking time significantly and improves digestibility.

Chana Masala (Classic Indian Chickpea Curry)

Pressure cook soaked chickpeas with water and a pinch of salt for 20–25 minutes (or simmer in a pot for 60–90 minutes) until tender. In a separate pan, heat oil and fry onions until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste, chopped tomatoes, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chana masala powder. Cook until the oil separates. Add the cooked chickpeas and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with rice or bhatura.

Classic Hummus

Cook soaked TRS Chick Peas until very soft. Reserve the cooking liquid. Blend the chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth, adding cooking liquid as needed to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika to serve. Homemade hummus from dried chickpeas has a far superior flavour and texture to tinned varieties.

Chickpea Salad

Cook soaked chickpeas until just tender — firm enough to hold their shape. Cool completely. Toss with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt. A protein-rich, filling salad that works as a main or side dish.

Chole Bhature (Punjabi Street Food)

Prepare a rich, tangy chickpea curry using soaked and pressure-cooked TRS Chick Peas, whole spices (bay leaf, black cardamom, cloves), onion-tomato masala, and a generous amount of dried mango powder (amchur) for the characteristic sour note. Serve with deep-fried bhatura bread for an indulgent, authentic Punjabi meal.

Storage

Store TRS Chick Peas 500g in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Dried chickpeas keep well for up to 12 months when stored correctly. Cooked chickpeas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
