Description
Chef Cheetie Kumar's Rose Harissa Chickpea Salad is a masterclass in bold flavours and cross-cultural cooking. Anchored by chickpeas and a medley of fresh herbs and vegetables, the dish gets its signature complexity from Spicewalla's Rose Harissa—a blend co-created by Chef Cheetie and Meherwan Irani, rooted in their shared Indian heritage and deep culinary friendship.
This chickpea salad hits all the right notes: smoky cumin, zesty lemon, floral rose, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. Harissa has its origins in North Africa, but this version—tempered with dried rose petals—offers a unique twist that's both aromatic and fiery.
Whether you're a spice lover, plant-forward eater, or fan of chef-driven recipes, this salad is a versatile standout. Serve it warm, at room temp, or straight out of the fridge & with a crumbling of feta. However you plate it, this chickpea salad is more than a side—it's a celebration of flavour, history, and collaboration.
