Indian garbanzo beans or black chickpea (or kala chana as we call it in Hindi) are a powerful source of proteins for vegetarians. Because, this legume is so healthy and tasty, it is used to make various Indian and international dishes. Kala chana is also a favourite food of dieters as it contains a good amount of fibre, which keeps your stomach full and aids weight. We have grown up eating Kala chana curry with rice, dry kala chana with puri, and kala chana chaat; and we have always loved these dishes. So, we are sure you are also going to love these three snacks made with the legume.
