I was first introduced to this food as "Channa". Channa, is a South American dish that is simple to make, and delicious The peas are soaked over-night to swell and soften, before being placed into the pressure cooker to complete the tenderizing process.
It's common in countries like South America, and the Caribbean to buy all types of legumes dry. First, because it's cheaper and you get more on the dollar, than buying it in a can. The good thing is - it has turned out to be healthier for you too - bonus.
Today, chick peas isn't only found in popular dishes like Hummus, Falafel and Punjabi Chole dishes introduced by different cultures like Greek, Middle East, and India - it can be found in hundreds of recipes of all cultures.
Recently, I had a craving for chick pea, but not my traditional "channa" recipe - I will share that in another post; this dish was inspired by what was in my kitchen. I've named it "Chicken chick pea stew"
