Now add water and pressure cook the chick peas for 3 to 4 whistles.
After it cools, drain out and discard the water.
Note :The colour of the peas is retained to a nice deep green because of the alkalinity of the soda.

Add half the water and the chick peas to this mix and blend.
Keep adding the remaining water and blend it until it becomes very smooth.

Taste and if required adjust the seasoning.
