Monsoon Curried Chickpea Salad
This is a great filling lunch salad or a spiced salad to grace your picnic or BBQ table. Use your favorite Monsoon Coast blend. We love Moghul Curry, Punjabi Garam Masala, Ras el Hanout, Monsoon Balti and Mahavira’s Feast as they really complements the wonderous chickpea. For a fiery version, try our Durban Curry, Tobago Habanero Curry, Goan Vindaloo, Tunisian Harissa or Rose Harissa.
