Three Bean Salad

This is a quick snack if you have canned beans in your pantry. I have tried it with 3 different beans. This can be tried with other beans too.
Ingredients:
Garbanzo beans - 1 can
Red kidney beans - 1 can
Pinto beans - 1 can
Onion - 1 medium sized (finely chopped)
Tomatoes - 1-2 (finely chopped)
Green chillies - 3-4 (slit lengthwise)
Lemon juice - 1-2 tbp
Grated carrot (optional)
Cilantro for garnishing
Oil for seasoning
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Dhania powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala - 1/4 - 1/2 tsp (according to taste)
salt as per the taste

Procedure:

Put oil in a wok and put mustard and jeera seeds and let them splatter. Then add chopped onions and green chillies and fry till golden brown. Then add all dry powders and stir for 2 mins. Then add chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5-10 mins stirring in between. Drain all 3 beans, run under cold water and add them to the onion tomatoes mixture. Cook for 5-10 mins covered stirring in between. Once done add lemon juice and garnish with cilantro and grated carrot.
Enjoy this as an evening snack!
