  • 400ml yoghurt (hang in a musling to drain all the whey)/Low-fat sour cream
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 can red kidney beans
  • 1 can green peas
  • 1 large green pepper diced
  • 8-10 cloves of garlic (adjust this to suit your taste if required)
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder (this will taste best if freshly roated and coarsely ground)
  • Salt to taste

Preparation:

  • Whisk the yoghurt/sour cream to remove lumps if any.
  • Mix in all the ingredients except the salt.
  • Chill the salad. When you are ready to eat add salt and serve.
