Coconut Chile Surnoli
Herby Zucchini Chickpea Salad
| By : |
Zucchini is so delicate that I like to season it gently when I’m cooking. In this recipe, the coriander gives it a nice oomph, and cumin partners nicely with the earthiness from the chickpeas. The lime-spiked yogurt sauce is one of my kitchen go-tos; I make it all the time, as a dip for vegetables or base for a dish like this one (which is also pretty tasty cold for lunch the next day).
