Mango Chickpea Kachumber Salad (healthy)

Whenever I make chole, rajma, dal, or pulao, Kachumber Salad is a must. If you attend any Indian party, I guarantee you Kachumber Salad will be on the menu along with some kind of dal and rice, of course. The citrus in this salad pairs beautifully with rice and your choice of Indian gravy.

What is Mango Chickpea Kachumber Salad?

Kachumber Salad is a widely popular salad in India that’s traditionally made with cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. This salad is then flavored with chat masala, red chili powder, salt, and lime/lemon. 

My recipe goes a step further as I added mango for sweetness and chickpea for protein. Additionally, I added green chilies and omitted the traditional spices besides chat masala. 

This salad is absolutely refreshing and so good for you. 

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

This recipe is already vegan and gluten-free. 

What other veggies can I add to this Kachumber Salad?

You can add corn, peas, bell peppers, cabbage, radish, and more. The possibilities are endless.

For some greens, spinach would be a great addition to this salad.

Tips on making Mango Chickpea Kachumber Salad:

The only tip here is to chop everything small. I love salads that have little pieces of veggies as opposed to larger pieces.

Ingredients you’ll need for Mango Chickpea Kachumber Salad:

Chickpeas: I use organic chickpeas from a can and they work well in this dish. Make sure you drain and rinse the chickpeas well.

Veggies: Red Onion, Carrots, Cucumber, Tomatoes. Make sure you chop all these veggies small, you can also chop them fine, but I prefer small veggies.

Mango: Make sure you use a sweet and ripe mango. Alfonso mangoes work or any sweet mango. Cube the mango into small pieces.

Green Chilies: For this recipe, I omitted red chili powder and opted for green chilies. Chop the green chilies super fine and it’ll add a hint of spice without it being crazy spicy. Remember, we are not cooking the green chilies, so fine chopping them is the way to go.

Lime: I love using lime juice in my kachumber salad, but if you have a lemon on hand, that works too.

Spices: Chat Masala and Salt. You can easily find chat masala at your local Indian grocery store or order it on Amazon.

There is no ginger and garlic in this recipe, and there is no need to sauté the veggies. Simply add raw veggies to a simmering coconut gravy and cook the veggies for a few minutes. Flavor the sauce and garnish. Tofu Thai Red Curry is a classic and is the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. ⁠
