Chickpeas Sundal Recipe- Instant Pot Recipes

A healthy snack using chickpeas that’s rich in protein and fiber made in the Instant Pot…

Yes, I’m still obsessed with Instant Pot and have been making a lot of dishes in it. The other day, I cooked chickpeas in the Instant Pot. I didn’t even soak the chickpeas in water, I added the dried chickpeas in the instant pot along with water and cooked at high pressure for 25 minutes. Chickpeas were perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. Goodbye to canned chickpeas.

I made Sundal with the cooked chickpeas. Sundal is a South Indian snack made with chickpeas or it can also be made with different kinds of lentils, peanuts, etc. Basically, chickpeas is stir-fried with grated coconut and some seasonings. Easy to make, healthy, tastes delicious and it’s quite filling.
