well this is a fabulous dish,ideal for potlucks,but equally good as a light summertime salad.this can be made with regular white chickpeas,its just i prefer black chickpeas,they r richer,creamier and yummier in taste.
i soaked 2 cups of chickpeas over night,boiled and drained them the next day,let them cool a little bit.put in one cup of tamarind juice,juice of 3 large lemons,2 large diced tomatoes,3 large boiled and diced potatoes,2 medium diced onions(that i tossed for half a minute in a non stick skillet without any oil,on high flame,to loose the bitterness and smell of raw onion,but they should still be crunchy),2,3 chopped green chilis,half a teaspoon of toasted cumin seeds,salt and pepper to taste.
