Salads are not generally a go-to dish for many. But, if prepared well, they can strike the balance of being both tasty and healthy. Chickpeas, packed with protein, are an ideal choice for those who constantly feel hungry. Prepare this chickpea salad and you are sorted for many hours, for sure.

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 sprig of curry leaves
2-3 thandu mulaku (chilly)

Preparation
Combine chickpeas, onion, and grated coconut in a vessel and add salt, lemon juice, and pepper
Heat oil in a pan and season the salad with mustard, curry leaves, and thandu mulaku

Note: While the crunch from the onions makes it an instant favorite, the spiced, lemon dressing adds a tang and a ton of flavour. The recipe is also gluten-free
