Step 1
Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with 2 inches of cold water. The chickpeas will absorb water and expand in size, so make sure to use a large bowl. Drain and rinse the beans.
Step 2
Add the rinsed chickpeas and 2 cups of water to the instant pot and cook for 35 minutes at high pressure.
Step 3
Naturally release pressure.
Step 4
While waiting for the pressure to release, go ahead and roast the pomegranate powder by dry roasting it in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until very dark brown (nearly black). Once it cools down, you can grind again for a finer texture if you'd like.
Step 5
Add this roasted pomegranate powder to a bowl along with the rest of the spices and mix well.
Step 6
Open the lid and use a spoon to sprinkle the spices on top of the chickpeas (do not mix spices with chickpeas yet! Leave spices in a layer on top of the chickpeas).
Step 7
Heat ½ cup of oil on the stovetop and once hot, pour the oil over the spices on top of the chickpeas.
Step 8
Mix well, mashing a few chickpeas with a spoon as you mix to help thicken the sauce. The sauce will thicken significantly after a few minutes.
Step 9
Top with small Indian green chilies, cilantro, and julienned ginger.
