Creamy Channa (chickpea) Kondai kadalai) Salad with Yogurt and Herbs:
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (Greek or thick hung curd preferred)
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Whip up the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, pepper, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Assemble the salad: Add the cooked chickpeas, chopped onion, and cucumber to the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
Finish with fresh herbs: Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves and adjust salt to taste.
Tips:
For even textures, chop the cucumber and onion roughly the same size as the chickpeas.
Enjoy the salad immediately for the freshest flavor.
Using Greek yogurt or thick hung curd adds a richer taste and creamier texture.
Bonus:
Feel free to customize the salad with additional chopped vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, or celery.
For a touch of spice, add a pinch of cumin or cayenne pepper to the dressing.
Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or with pita bread for scooping.
