I don`t know exactly where I learnt this recipe. I know only, that it was somewhere on the way from Rajasthan to Gujarat. This both refreshing and filling salad, which you can eat warm or cold, I bought via a train window at the train station. And a very helpful local guy sitting next to me explained to me how to make this amazing traditional Indian street food. Easy and tasty.

Process

Cook chickpeas till soft according to the instructions on the pack. Mix with all ingredients, salt to taste and serve.

  • 300g chickpeas
  • 1 large tomato finely chopped
  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 4 spring onions sliced
  • 2-4 green chilies finely chopped
