recipe | Kondakadalai salad | vegan garbanzo salad with detailed step-by-step photos, instructions, and health
benefits.
Have leftover boiled chickpeas and fresh veggies in hand? Here is the
refreshing and nutritious salad recipe for you!
This Chickpea salad is a quick and easy salad recipe. It is a spicy and scrumptious salad also high in protein, an
ideal dish for vegans and vegetarians. It can be served warm or cold,
which tastes incredibly flavorful both ways.
This refreshing chole salad takes very little time to prepare and
is very satisfying. I would always prefer to get the dried beans from the Indian grocery
store, soak them overnight, and then boil them in a pressure cooker. You
can also use an instant pot for cooking beans and legumes.
Chana salad is a make-ahead recipe. It can also be made with
canned garbanzo beans; make sure you drain the beans and rinse them in water before using them in a
salad. However, I don't generally buy canned ones as it contains sodium and
preservatives.
If you are short of time, you can soak, cook chickpeas in big batches,
freeze in ziplock bags in small quantities, and use them whenever needed.
I have tried this method, and it works perfectly.
In fact, we love to have salads every day for lunch. Instead of
chickpeas, you can replace them with boiled rajma(kidney bean), mung
bean, sprouts, black-eyed bean, etc. In Indian cuisine, boiled chana makes salads, curries for roti and chapati, sundal
recipes, etc.
The other names for chickpeas are garbanzo beans/Egyptian peas/Bengal gram in English. And channa/chole in Hindi,
vellai Kothukadalai/KondaKadalai in Tamil, vella kadala in Malayalam,
mudip chenagulu in Telugu, Kondekadalae/kadale Kaalu in Kannada, motor
Kalai in Bengali, kabuli Chana in Gujarati, dhevo Chono in Konkani,
kabuli Chane in Marathi, buta kabuli in Oriya.
Channa flour or besan flour is used to prepare savory pancakes,
bajji, bonda, pakoras, dhokla, etc. Now, let's get into the
chickpea salad recipe.
