I never gave Chick Peas that much attention or respect that it deserved:) all this time until there was this weird craving of a snack once my kids got back from school. I always gave them cookies/ sandwiches/ cupcakes and was tempted to eat some myself. I decided to make something healthy for them as well as me one day and opened my pantry to find canned chickpeas!!!OKK K now what? So I opened it and made something that took me less than 5 minutes:) to prepare.

Now if you do not want to use the canned ones, you can always buy the packet of chick peas from the store and soak some overnight and pressure cook it! Well, I have 2 kids and I really need something that saves me time hence the readily available cooked ones works better for me:)
