Recommended Posts

From the Disney Parks Blog...

 

 

 

Harambe Market opens May 23 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and if you can’t be here for the debut, we’re sharing one of our favorite recipes from the new location.

 

This chickpea salad, which will be served with the Karubi Ribs from Harambe Market, features distinctive African flavors like tamarind paste and chaat masala. Give the dish plenty of time to marinate before serving.

Chickpea Salad
Serves 8 as a side dish or appetizer

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 small jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, minced
1 teaspoon tamarind paste, dissolved in 3 tablespoons of water
1/4 teaspoon chaat masala, optional
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
2 (14.5-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large tomato, seeds removed, diced
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, stems removed, minced

  1. Heat oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and jalapeno; cook until garlic is lightly golden. Set aside until mixture is room temperature. Whisk in tamarind paste and chaat masala. Stir in onion. Refrigerate until cold.
  2. Add chilled spice mixture to chickpeas, tossing to coat. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Just before serving, add cucumber, tomato and cilantro. Add remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Cook’s notes: Tamarind paste has a distinctive, tart flavor. It can be purchased in Asian and Latin-American grocery stores or online. Chaat masala is a spice blend available in specialty food stores and some grocery stores or online.

They're pretty different.

 

Depending on what you have in the pantry, you might be able to wing a "close enough" version of chaat masala.  I found this recipe ...

 

3 tbsps cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 and a 1/2 tsps saunf/ fennel seeds
4 tbsps raw mango/ amchur powder
3 tbsps powdered black salt 

1 and a 1/2 tsps freshly ground black pepper 

1/4 tsp hing/ asafetida powder
1 and a 1/2 tsps ginger powder
1 tsp dried, powdered mint
1 and a 1/2 tsps ajwain/ carom seeds

 

Some funky stuff in there but even if you could come up with cumin, coriander, fennel, salt, pepper and ginger, that would still be tasty.  :)
