Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Take a mixing bowl. Add the drained chickpeas, chopped cucumber, chopped tomato, and diced avocado.
- Add chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) into the bowl.
- Pour in fresh lemon juice. Then season with salt, black pepper and chaat masala (if using).
- Gently toss everything so that avocado does not get mashed. Mix until ingredients are evenly coated with lemon juice and spices.
- Serve immediately as a light meal or chilled by refrigerating for 10–15 minutes. Enjoy with whole-grain roti or as a salad bowl.
Notes
You can use boiled home-cooked chickpeas instead of canned. If you like more crunch, add finely chopped onion or bell pepper. For extra protein, toss in some boiled corn or paneer cubes.
