Kabuli Chana Pulao |Chickpea Pilaf |
Kabuli Chana Pulao is an easy one pot meal loaded with protein-rich chickpeas and fragrant from the Indian masala. For veggie days, this is much perfect idea to enjoy which is so simple to make with just easy and quick steps. It goes so well with any raita of your choice, or even simple curd, pickle, papad etc.
This chana pulao is prepared very similar like other Indian pulao recipe with almost same ingredients, but with an extra use of boiled chickpeas. In this pulao, the veggies can be added as desired to make it more nutritious pulao. I have used only potatoes here, still the vegetable addition is completely optional.
