one and one third cup (1 and 1/3 cup) dry garbanzo beans equal approximately 4 cups cooked.

See this site (scroll to end):

One 15 oz can yields 1.5 cups drained cooked beans.

When cooking dry beans, they absorb a LOT of water and swell up.

1 cup dry = 2.5 - 3 cups cooked

Per the site, chickpeas are toward the 3X end of the scale.

You need to start with at least half a cup, dry. The first time, I would probably start with 2/3 cup to be sure of having enough, and measure the result. Use the extras for something else, or discard. Dry is cheap.
