Chatpata Kala Chana

This is a complete protein rich side dish with a chatpata taste. The name itself tells you that the dish is a combination of different flavours. A very easy and simple dish with less ingredients. This is my own creation :) Hope you will like it....

I tried out this dish with sprouted kala chana. You can use kala chana without sprouted also. The taste will be the same. I wanted to enhance the protein value of this dish, so i used the sprouted ones. Both my husband and my daughter loves kala chana a lot. So i try out different varieties of dishes with them. This one they loved a lot and enjoyed it with roti.

Try it out and you will feel the spicy chatpata tangy taste bursting out in your mouth ;)  Its worth guys, give it a try....
