Mango and Curried Chickpea Salad

19th November 2016

Seems like I fell off the wagon again. Two weeks of illness followed by a birthday holiday to Bruges means I'm feeling a little tubby and have barely ate a healthy meal in forever.

To start I put the chickpeas in a pan of water to simmer for half an hour. Meanwhile, the onion was sautéd in coconut oil along with turmeric, curry powder and ground coriander. Chopped cauliflower florets was added next and fried for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to coat everything in the spices and a chopped green chilli. This mixture was added to a large mixing bowl.



I forgot again how weird mangos are to chop. The stone is basically invisible. But I managed to peel and chop two of these bad boys and add to the mixing bowl along with some spinach leaves. 



I stirred in some salt and lemon juice and served with some garlic bread that desperately needed eating. The dish alone was really tasty. Mango and curry spices are excellent - who knew!
