Drain chickpeas and set aside. With a knife, lightly crack the cardamom pods. With your fingers, peel back the shell to release the black seeds and collect them in a small bowl. Discard the shells. With a rolling pin or a mortar and pestle, crush the cardamom seeds (or leave them whole if you don't mind biting into them). Set aside.

Stir in chickpeas and water and heat for 3 - 4 minutes until masala is well mixed with chickpeas. Turn off heat and serve immediately.
