Gifted | AffiliateIt's no secret that I am a huge fan of Degustabox and have been enjoying their monthly subscription boxes for the past few months.

And now let's move on to the recipe I mentioned about earlier in the post.
We eat chickpea salad all the time at home. When I saw the Kent's Kitchen Bengal Meal Kit in the October Degustabox, I knew it would give a delicious twist to my regular chickpea salad. And I was right. The salad was absolutely delicious and I knew I had to share the recipe here. Try it. Chickpea salad is one of my favourite quick lunch recipes of all time. It is very filling and is good source of both protein and fiber.
Spicy Bengal Chickpea Salad (Serves 2)
Ingredients:
- 2 tins of Chickpea (400g each)
- 1 Kent's Kitchen Bengal Spice Kit (curry paste pot, curry spices, infused garlic oil)
- 1 red onion (finely chopped)
- Coriander powder, red chilli powder (optional)
- Lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Haldiram's Bhujia Sev (It's a hot and spicy, fried Indian snack. I used this as a garnish and to add a bit of crunchiness to the salad)
Method:
- Heat the infused garlic oil in a pan.
- Add washed chickpeas and allow it to soak in the oil.
- Add salt and the curry spices. Mix well.
- I added a tsp. each of coriander powder and red chilli powder. This was because I did not use the curry paste as it had chicken stock. You can skip the coriander powder and red chilli powder if you are using the curry paste that comes in the kit.
- Remove the pan from flame and allow it to cool a little.
- When you are ready to serve, transfer the chickpeas to a plate and give the salad a final dressing with lemon juice.
- Garnish with chopped onion and Bhujia Sev. Serve.
So, what do you think of the October Degustabox and my chickpea salad recipe? The recipe is very easy and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. Let me know if you try it.
