Steps In Making
- Soak the chickpeas in water overnight. Now drain the excess water.
- In a pressure cooker add the chickpeas and water. Add 3-4 cups of water so the chickpeas are perfectly soaked in it.
- Now pressure cook them for 12-15 minutes.
- Once done, they will be soft. Do not over cook them else the salad will become very mushy.
- Now remove the chickpeas from the cooker and drain the excess water.
- To prepare the dressing in a bowl add extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper powder, garlic powder, onion powder, mixed herbs, amchoor powder/chaat masala and salt to taste. Now mix well. The salad dressing is ready.
- In a large bowl add the boiled chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, green capsicum, onion, boiled potatoes, grated carrot and the salad dressing. Mix till everything is well combined.
- Finally add the roasted sesame seeds, flax seeds and fresh coriander and mix again.
- Serve warm or cold.
