Black chana is also known as desi chana or kala chana. And it has high fibre content as compared to the kabuli chana or the garbanzo beans. These chanas are a healthy source of carbohydrates and is good for people with diabetes since it has low glycemic index.
Since salad can be made with variable proportions of ingredients I am just listing the ingredients without the quantities.
Ingredients:
Kala Chana- Soaked overnight and then pressure cooked for 5-6 whistles or till it's done
Onions- Chopped
Tomatoes- Chopped
Green Chillies- Chopped Finely
Coriander- Chopped Finely
Salt or Black Salt to taste
Roasted Cumin Powder
Red Chilli Powder ( Optional)
Lemon Juice
Amchur or Dry Mango Powder
Procedure:
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss nicely. Serve immediately.
Variation:
- In place of kala chana, green chana or kabuli chana can be used.
- Chopped cucumber, green mango can be added to make it more good.
- To make it like chaat add green chutney and sweet and sour tamarind chutney.
