Cooking Chickpeas - the desi way

Ahhh...spring vacations...time to sit back and relax. Cooking is fun. Cooking chickpeas is ecstatic and cooking chickpeas the desi way is the best thing in culinary world (after baking and barbecue and making a steak and frying fish).
Dehydrate the fresh chickpea branches in the sun for a day so that the leaves become brittle. Light some fire with the help of wood and papers in a container and cook the branches directly over the fire until the pods are all black and fall down in the container. The fire will probably extinguish in one go. Light it again over the fallen pods and ash and cook the rest of the chickpeas. The pods will get buried in the ash and will be heated and cooked well. Then let it get cool a little and dive into the ash. Pick out the pods, open them up and there they are, fresh green warm chickpeas, ready to be gulped down.
