Method
To make the chickpea and mango salad, heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the curry leaves and ginger, followed by the mustard seeds, green chillies, cumin seeds and asafoetida (if using). Stir well to combine.
When the mustard seeds start popping, add the chickpeas and season with salt to taste. Allow the chickpeas to warm through for a few minutes before taking the pan off the heat. Cool slightly before adding the coconut, mango and lime juice.
This salad can be served warm or at room temperature so keep warm if preferred.
