Channa (Chickpeas) provide an excellent source of molybdenum. They are a very good source of folic acid, fiber, and manganese. They are also a good source of protein, as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. As a good source of fiber, garbanzo beans can help lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar levels. This makes them a great food especially for diabetics and insulin-resistant individuals. When served with high quality grains, garbanzo beans are an extremely-low-fat, complete protein food. They have a delicious nutlike taste and buttery texture. They provide a good source of protein that can be enjoyed year-round and are available either dried or canned. Channa salad , one of my fav salad with fresh veggies tossed with olive oil, salt n pepper powder...
1/2cup Channa ( soaked n cooked)
1/4cup Cucumber pieces
Few tomato pieces
1/4cup Grated carrot
1tsp Chopped coriander leaves
Salt
Pepper powder
Olive Oil
Mix the salt, pepper powder n oil together...add the channa n also the fresh vegetables together n toss with salt, pepper n Olive oil...serve them as salad...tinned channa also suits prefectly for this salad, but i like to use the dry chick peas..
Prefect Salad for any season!!!
