Notes

  1. Cook the white chana until soft but not mushy so the salad retains a pleasant texture.
  2. Make sure the green chana dressing is blended well for a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Chill the dressing before serving for a more refreshing salad.
  4. Add lemon juice according to your taste because the curd already provides some tanginess.
  5. Add the dressing just before serving if you want the vegetables to remain crunchy.
