Steps:

1. 
   Prepare ingredients for chickpea puree. Soak the beans in water for 7-8 hours. Remove seeds and white veins from the pepper. Remove the skins from the onions. Cut the vegetables into small pieces. Tip: You need to take a larger bowl for soaking chickpeas, as the beans will swell and become twice as large.
2. 
   Prepare the chickpeas. In a frying pan in olive oil, fry the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes. Add swollen chickpeas, salt, pepper, curry. Cover with a lid and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Ready chickpeas should be slightly firm. If the beans are too hard, add a little more water and simmer longer.
3. 
   Serve delicious chickpeas as a side dish for meat, fish dishes, and vegetable salads.
