Chickpea Curry(Gluten Free) image

This is a popular dish in India,and can be eaten on its own,with rice or flat bread.The chickpeas have to be soaked in water overnight(with a pinch of baking soda).and then DRAINED. If chickpeas are cooked in a Pressure Cooker it takes 20 minutes or an hour if cooked in a ordinary pot.The recipe is from a cookbook I had many years ago,but still popular in our house.
