Chickpea Coleslaw Recipe
Dressing Ingredients:
1 tsp CORIANDER
tsp TURMERIC
tsp CUMIN
2 Tbsp SUGAR
1 tsp GINGER (minced)
1 tsp GARLIC (minced)
2 Tbsp VINEGAR (or substitute fresh lemon juice and zest--very tasty!)
cup SOUR CREAM (or substitute plain yogurt)
cup MAYONNAISE

Slaw:
14 oz can CHICKPEAS
small CABBAGE (shredded)
2 medium CARROTS (shredded)
cup CILANTRO (chopped)
SALT and PEPPER to taste

In a small bowl, combine ingredients for dressing and whisk together until smooth. Be sure the ginger and garlic are minced well. I've sometimes substituted lemon juice for the vinegar and it tastes great; if using fresh lemon, also throw in a little (or a lot) of the zest. In a larger bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, and a 14oz can of chickpeas (rinsed and drained). Add dressing and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste (a dash of cayenne will add a little bite). Add cilantro.
And that's it.
This dish is a perfect side for an Indian feast. We served it with a very spicy chicken curry and it was a great pairing, it's also great with a banh mi burger, and a lot healthier than french fries or potato chips.
It tastes great the 1st day and super great the second day, and if there's any left on the 3rd day, then you made it wrong.
Enjoy.
