I am having a one way conversation there right now. :) I am scared the heck out of pressure cooker, my mom never used it. I recently warm/hot soaked but only so I can peel off garbanzo bean skin, much rather do the cold one though for multiple reasons.

Or if you have a friend who lives nearby with whom you can cook together. These beans would take under 20 mins in a pressure cooker.<br /><br />I am particularly bad at soaking beans and dal, too. But there's more reason to pre-soak than to get them to cook faster.

The russet really melts in consistency and I felt like adding them this time. Sometimes I make it like Chole, skip the cilantro and garlic.<br />Thanks Orly and Jean in between the three of us we could have written a guide to Israel.
