Easy Chickpeas Salad

Chickpeas weren't my food before. 

I didn't know the existence and taste of chickpeas until I move to Malaysia. 

It's one of the important ingredient in Indian food.

The first time I ate chickpeas on its own was from Nandos three bean salad. 

It was soft, nutty, and filling (means less bread or rice intake, heheh...!)

Since then I am addicted to chickpeas. 

Mr use to add chickpeas to chili and curry too, 

but it has to be a lot of hassle making it.

Salad is the easiest way to enjoy chickpeas. 

I bought dried chickpeas, it lot of cheaper than bought in the tin.

I soaked 1 cup dried chickpeas with warm water for the whole night, rinse, and boil it for about 15-20 minutes. I turn off the fire after 5 minute boil, and let the remain heat cook the chickpeas.

Rinse again with cold water, that's it...

soft nutty chickpeas ready to go
