Okay I brought the spicy Chick Pea Salad to Liz's Cooking Class and here is the receipe.

(1) Can of Chick Peas usually the large can 16ozs
(2) small onions use red to give it color (chopped really fine)
(3) plum tomatoes (chopped small pieces)
(3) tablespoons Cilantro (fresh) chopped
(2) tablespoons Chana Chat Masala usually found in Indian Grocery stores.
(1) Tablespoon Cumin (powdered)
(1) packet splenda
(1/2) cut lime fresh if you have it if not use concentrate lemon juice

Drain Chick peas in a strainer and rise them out. Mix all ingredients togather. Chill and serve either on a salad or you can get Bhel Mix at the Indian Store.

The Tamrid Chutney can be made from Tamrid paste that you can buy at Indian grocery store or buy it already made.

I added one green cayenne pepper fine chopped but you can substitue two slivers of green pepper to take the spice out and add color. I also had put in a little bit of red powder pepper for color more than anything but you can skip that and it will be mild.

Laura,
You are so sweet and so pretty. I am so upset that we did not spend too much time togather as I was greedy and did not want to miss sampling any of the food coming off the stove. I think I used up all my calories for the day but don't regret it for one minute. I hope you can make it to her cooking class the next time or one after it and we will definately catch up. Take Care:)
