Instructions
- 1Rinse the tomato, onion, and cucumber under cold water; pat dry.
- 2Finely chop the tomato, onion, and cucumber and place them in a large mixing bowl.

- 8Transfer the yogurt‑chutney dressing onto a serving plate, spreading it into an even layer.
- 9Top the dressing with the chickpea‑quinoa bhel, giving the dish a colorful, layered appearance.
- 10Give the assembled bhel a final gentle toss just before serving, if desired, to coat the pieces with the dressing.
