Instructions
Rinse the dried chickpeas thoroughly and soak them in water for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them again. Add them to a pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until they are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Add mustard seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add urad dal and stir until it turns golden brown.
Add the curry leaves and finely chopped green chili. Saute for a minute.
Add the cooked chickpeas to the skillet and stir well to combine with the spices.
