Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Chickpeas/white Chane
  • Water as per need for soaking
  • 4 cups Water for boiling

Instructions
 

  • Wash & soak chickpeas in clean water overnight or for 8-10 hours.
  • In the morning or after 8-10 hours, take a pressure cooker and transfer the chickpeas and discard soaking liquid. (adding salt is optional but i didn't prefer but NO baking soda).
  • Add water so that the chickpeas are covered and water is just above the chickpea level. I used 4 cups of water.
  • Close the lid & place the pressure cooker on high flame.
  • When the pressure in the cooker begins, bring the flame to low and let it cook for 40-45 minutes (your cooker timings may vary but you know your cooker well) or until chickpeas turn soft.
  • When the pressure from the cooker is released, open the cooker. You will find a brownish thick water below the chickpea level.
  • Separate chickpeas & water by draining the water in a bowl with the help of a sieve.
  • This Brownish Thick Water in the bowl is Aquafaba.
