Background

This salad of chickpea with spiced yoghurt fits well in the middle-eastern or Indian menu. It goes particularly well with grilled meat or with naan bread. It also makes a nice filling in pita and other flatbread. It's very easy to make, takes only 5 minutes or so!

1½ tsp vegetable oil (or ghee butter)
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp fennel seeds
1 pinch dried chilli flakes

100 ml Greek yoghurt
3 spring onions, chopped
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ handful of mint, chopped
½ handful of coriander leaves, chopped

Drain the chickpeas, rinse and drain again.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook the mustard seeds for about 1 minute. When it starts popping, add the other spices and cook for another minute, stirring continuously.
