Cumin Chickpeas
Cover chickpeas with water and soak for 24 hours. Rinse with cold water. Drain and put into a soup pot. Cover with water so that they're under at least two inches of water.

Cook covered until very soft ( about 2 or 3 hours ) but make sure that vthey are always under water while cooking..

Drain and cool. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Chill for at least two hours before serving.

Canned chickpeas may be used instead of the dried though the taste is very different.. Drain and add spices. Serve chilled.
