Simple Chickpea bread spread

Chickpea, also known as garbanzo beans, is a popular legume which is available in all parts of the world. It is available as fresh seeds, in cans and dried beans. Dried chickpea is cheap but it will take one to two hours to cook. However, it can be cooked in a pressure cooker in 30 minutes or if pre-soaked in 18 minutes.
Therefore it is often pre-cooked for recipes. Canned chickpea does not take much time to cook and is used directly in cooking. Fresh chikpea is not readily available.
Today I am going to make a sandwich with mashed chickpea. This is not like hummus. But hummus also can be used as a bread spread.
