I prepare salad with these chickpeas when ever I miss them!
Fresh Chickpeas and Carrot Salad
Fresh Chickpeas : 1 small cup
Grated carrot : 2 tbsp
Green chilli paste : 1/2 tsp
Lemon Juice : 1/2 tsp
Seasoning/Oggarane : little
Toss everything and serve. Enjoy !!
Storing Fresh Chickpeas :
Clean chickpeas in water, drain the water. Spread it on a clean thick towel. Let the moisture in peas escape to towel. Transfer the peas to another fresh dry towel and pat them well to remove any adhering moisture. Pack them in the freezer safe ziplock bags/containers and store in freezer. I stored fresh chickpeas and hyacinth beans. Thaw and use!
Frozen Fresh Hyacinth Beans/Avarekalu
Storing Lemon Juice
Are you getting lemons at a cheaper price ? Store the lemon juice and use it whenever you want.
Wash lemons, pat dry them and squeeze the juice using a juicer. Note that the juicer must be wiped dry before you start squeezing lemons. Store the juice in a clean, dry glass bottle or a tupperware container. Store in the coolest part (not freezer) of your refrigerator.

I tasted this fresh ones during my vosit to India @ in-laws place :-)...Nice tips....
lovely and refreshing salad..i never thought of storing the juice of lemon...lemon used to remain for a long time in fridge and then discarded unused..good tips..whereas yes curry leaves tip you gave last time works..i do that now and always have them in hand..
Avarekalu, fresh and yummy. No, I would never get that here. There are frozen packets of lilva but it tastes very odd and no where near as the fresh avarekalu. Lucky, enjoy. Great tips! :)
The fresh chickpeas is available almost through out the year. I discovered only after moving in CA. I love to eat fresh! Avarakai is seasonal! Great tips to storing!
