Chana chaat / Chickpea Salad

Here is a recipe for a tangy chickpea salad that is sure to arouse your taste buds. Its an easy make and my usual contribution to potlucks at work in the US. Chickpeas are also known as Garbanzo beans, and are ready available in cans at the grocery store.

You will need MDH Chunky Chaat masala from the Indian grocery store for this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 Can of chickpeas / Garbanzo beans
• 1/2 onion finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes finely chopped
• 1 small cucumber chopped
• 1 Potato chopped into small chunks
• 1 Tsp salt
• 1/2 Tsp red chilli powder
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 1.5 Tsp MDH Chunky Chaat masala
• 5-6 springs of coriander / cilantro chopped fine

There isn't a lot to the actual recipe. Wash the chickpeas from the can and put them into a salad bowl. Throw all the other ingredients and the spices in and mix well. Squeeze in the lemon over the mix and sprinkle the cilantro over the preparation and mix well again.

Refrigerate and take out 10 minutes before serving. Basically, serve it cool, not chilled.
