If they are dried, soak it overnight and cook in on a preassure cooker. if they are fresh its easier to cook.

I add some baking soda to the soak or boiling pot so they'll soften up faster. explained here.

One of the quicker ways to cook beans that I haven’t addressed in this article is by applying high pressure using pressure cookers. I grew up in India, where pressure cookers are the workhorse of many kitchens.
