Indian Chickpea Snacks

This snack is also very tasty if one wants something to go over a salad. I like to use chutney for this recipe, but I have used powdered chat masala before to make a variation of this recipe. 

Ingredients

1 medium can chickpea

1 medium onion, diced

1 medium tomato, diced

1 boiled potato, diced

2 tablespoons, cilantro

2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1½ tablespoons chutney (Major Grey's is the best)

½ teaspoon ginger, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Drain the chickpeas, add all the ingredients and mix well.

Place in bowl with cover or plastic wrap and chill for two hours.

If chat masala is desired, here is the recipe I use
