Can I use canned chickpeas?
No, for authentic Revithada, dried chickpeas are essential. Canned chickpeas will not achieve the same creamy texture after such a long cooking time.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What kind of pot should I use?
Traditionally, a clay or earthenware pot is used. If you don't have one, a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid will work well.
Can I add other vegetables?
While the classic recipe is simple, you can add a bay leaf or a sprig of fresh rosemary for extra aroma, but keep it minimal to respect the tradition.
