Add the chickpeas in a cooker. Also add 2.5 cups water. You can also add just one type of chickpea.

Add ½ teaspoon salt.

Pressure cook on medium flame for 18 to 19 minutes. When pressure settles down on its own in the cooker, open the lid and check if the chickpeas are cooked well or not. If not then pressure cook for some more time till the chickpeas are cooked well.

In another pressure cooker, take 2 to 3 medium sized rinsed potatoes. Add enough water just about covering the potatoes.&nbsp;

Also add ½ teaspoon salt. Pressure cook them for 5 to 6 whistles or 9 to 11 minutes on medium flame.

When the pressure settles down on its own in the cooker, remove the potatoes. Let them cool a bit. Then peel and chop them. Add the chopped potatoes to the cooked chickpeas.

Sprinkle ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder, ½ teaspoon chaat masala and ¼ teaspoon black salt or add as required.

Mix everything well. Keep aside.
