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!

Ingredients

1½ tsp vegetable oil (or ghee butter)
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp fennel seeds
1 pinch dried chilli flakes
1 tin of chickpeas (410 g)
100 ml Greek yoghurt
3 spring onions, chopped
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ handful of mint, chopped
½ handful of coriander leaves, chopped

Instructions

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.
Mix the yogurt with the spices, chickpeas, herbs, spring onion and lemon juice. Season to taste before serving.
