Protein-rich chickpeas and raw mango salad

This protein rich salad makes for an excellent side-dish and even a mid-meal snack. Soak the chickpeas for 6 – 7 hours or overnight. Then drain the water, wash the chickpeas well and cook till they are soft and have a melt in mouth consistency. If you’re cooking this in a pressure cooker, cook for 1 whistle on high flame and then let the chickpeas slow cook on low flame for 15 minutes. This method will give you perfectly cooked chickpeas, ready to use for your salad.
