Mix well and make sure the chickpeas are well coated with all the spices.

- Now put the pressure cooker with chickpea mixture over medium flame and cook until the moisture in the mixture dries out and the oil starts to separate from the other contents of the mixture. Once done, garnish your homemade Pindi chhole with chopped onion and serve hot!
