Sundays are always busy days for me – trying out new recipes, cooking elaborate dishes, rushing to the library to pick up cookbooks, etc.
However, for a change, this Sunday I made the easy chickpeas salad as I wanted to make something quick and healthy for my daughter and her friend. Moreover, I wanted to introduce nutritious salads to them.
Chickpeas are versatile and protein rich lentils. Avariety of dishes can be made with these, like chickpeas pulao, chickpeas curry (the famous ‘kabooli chana’ from North India) and chickpeas (and soya) cutlets.
Chickpeas salad can be savored in the morning as a breakfast dish, or a side dish during the afternoon meal or as a filling snack in the evenings.
