What makes Dahi Tadka Kala Chana Salad special?
Dahi Tadka Kala Chana Salad is an easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for when you crave something nutritious and delicious. Its main ingredient, kala chana, is rich in protein, iron, fibre, folate, and antioxidants. Also, kala chana is higher in protein content than chickpeas which will keep you full and satiated for a longer time. When combined with yogurt, which is rich in probiotics, and veggies, this salad becomes a complete meal in itself. Plus, it is extremely versatile so you can add other ingredients of your choice!
Can you make Dahi Tadka Kala Chana Salad in advance?
Dahi Tadka Kala Chana Salad tastes best when eaten fresh and immediately. However, if you want to save time and make it in advance, get the ingredients ready. Cook kala chana in your preferred way and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Chop the vegetables of your choice in advance and store them in the fridge. This will save you time while assembling the salad. As for the yogurt, we would recommend you prepare it fresh and on the spot. This is because this yogurt dressing will contain salt and spices that can turn it sour if kept for too long. Prepare the salad at the last minute for a protein-packed meal!
