( the dark colour of the chickpeas comes from it) Finely chop red and green bell pepper, white radish and green cabbage. Make a dressing of cold pressed groundnut oil, lime juice, finely chopped coriander, rock salt and pepper. Toss everything together and garnish with fresh pomogrante seed and radish shreds😊

I added some black raisins, flax seed, roasted pumpkin seed, along with roasted pistachios.  3. For seasoning I added chaat masala only. 3.

 Quater way through the Salad pact. It has been a good learning journey, just to observe how compulsive our eating habits are, how disconnected we are with our body. Neverthless, through this pact and my sadhana i am determined to take the leap within.

Add lil red bell peppers, fresh coriander, lots of lime juice, rock salt and pepper. 3.
