Method
Step 1
Soak chickpeas the night before in water. Drain the water and rinse it out the next day. Put in fresh water and cook the chick peas till done. I used a pressure cooker and it takes me about 8-9 whistles. I wanted to use the water from the boiled chick peas to make meringues. Therefore I did not add any salt when I was boiling the peas. When cooked and cooked, drain the chickpeas. Reserve the water for meringues. It is easy to do and delicious.

In a food processor add the following: drained chickpeas, salt, garlic, onion, black pepper, paprika, jalapeños, cumin seeds, cinnamon, coriander powder and chopped cilantro. Pulse it to a coarse paste. Add lemon juice.
