Chef's Notes
Black chickpeas are notoriously stubborn. Do not skimp on the overnight soak, or you will be chewing your curry until next Tuesday!
Pro Tip
Crushing a few boiled chickpeas against the side of the cooker before adding the final spices creates a naturally thick, velvety gravy without any cream.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to vent your pressure cooker properly and opening it immediately, resulting in a high-velocity explosion of boiling black chickpea curry all over your freshly painted ceiling.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal kitchen staff takes 30 minutes to make this, but the chickpea has been soaking for 12 hours. Talk about a slow-motion commitment to dinner.
The Culinary Science
Pressure cooking raises the boiling point of water by increasing internal pressure, forcing moisture deep into the tough seed coat of the black chickpea in record time.

Flavor Maturation & Emulsion Protection
Storage Science
Cool rapidly in a shallow container before refrigerating. Curries and stews often taste better on day two as aromatic compounds continue to bloom and mingle in the fat matrix. Consume within 4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat slowly on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring gently. If the fat has separated (broken emulsion), add a tablespoon of boiling water and whisk vigorously to re-emulsify before serving.
