Chef's Notes
Treat your black chickpeas with the respect they deserve by soaking them overnight; rushing this step is a culinary crime punishable by crunchy beans.
Pro Tip
When the oil separates from the sides of your tomato mixture in Step 6, take a moment to admire your work—that is the holy grail of Indian cooking known as bhunai.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to add water before sealing the pressure cooker will turn your kitchen into a crime scene and your chickpeas into charcoal briquettes.

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.
