17 Jul Indian Chaat Salad

This salad is one of my favourites! It is so incredibly flavourful and the addition of chickpeas makes this salad so filling and hearty. The dressing is oil free and contains tamarind sauce, lemon and spices! This plant-based side dish is perfect if you are having a main meal that contains meat. This dish is great paired with butter chicken or biryani. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
