This salad was delicious and very filling. I ate it for lunch for several days and the longer it sat, the more lemony it became. The family loved it too and over the years it’s become a favorite meal as well.

Instructions
 

  • Soak chickpeas overnight for 8-9hrs and wash them and pressure cook with enough water for 3 whistles,reduce the flame and cook for another 5-8 mins...
  • Chickpeas should cook thoroughly and soft firm and not become mushy[I love mushy chickpeas salad, so I smashed little bit with spoon, if you don't avoid this]. Drain them and keep them aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, add the dressing mix in olive oil,lemon juice, salt, chaat masala, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, roasted cumin powder and give a nice stir using a small wire whisk until you get a uniform paste.
  • Take a big bowl and add boiled chickpeas, finely chopped onion, tomato, parsley leaves and give a nice stir.
  • Add the dressing and check the taste of it and add any seasoning like salt or spice to suit your taste buds.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
