A simple chickpea salad

Another thrifty indian style salad recipe alongside my carrot salad a great accompaniment to chicken tikka.

Chickpea Salad - serves 2-3 adults depending on accompaniments

Ingredients

1 tin chickpeas (240g drained weight)
3-4 Fresh tomatoes, diced
half a small onion, finely diced
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp whole cumin
1/2 tsp whole mustard seeds

Method

I have no idea if they'd eat something like this in India.  To be honest, I've taken Indian ingredients and made something I liked the taste of!

Open the tin of chickpeas and drain.  Add the chopped onion, tomatoes, lime juice, sugar and salt.  Heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin and mustard seeds warming until they start to pop.  Pour over the salad and serve alongside a curry or chicken tikka.
