Method
- 1
Wash and prepare 1 cup boiled chickpeas — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.
- 2
Soak chickpeas overnight and cook them just until they yield to a press — firm chana holds the dressing better.
- 3
Heat the oil, crackle mustard and urad dal with curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the mix.
- 4
Add salt and the dressing only just before serving, and toss lightly with your fingertips.
- 5
Serve the chickpeas salad fresh and cool as a side with rice or as a light meal on its own.
