1. Sprouted Kala Chana
This is a next option to soaked chana as you need to leave the soaked ones tied in a wet cloth or even you can leave them in the bowl as it is, after draining the water, for around 24 hours. In desi way, its called “Ankurit Chana” which had always been the best option since our ancestors.
2. Roasted Kala Chana
This is by far the most laziest way, obviously, to consume it. Usually you can get the roasted ones in local snacks corners which are mostly known as “Bhujiya Wala” in our Indian markets.
If you need to rush for work or school or college, just make your pocket full and keep popping in your mouth every now and then.
3. Chana Masala
You are obviously aware of this option, which is an easy and popular dish in every region in India. If you are finding an alternative for everyday boring soaked one, you can prepare an easy curry recipe and have it with chapati or rice.
Needless to say, this can put some extra fat and less nutritients when compared to above 2 options but obviously a tastier one.
4. Easy Kala Chana Chaat
If you want to make a more saltier and spicier snack alternative, just put some in a bowl and mix them with
- Chopped onions,
- Cucumber
- Tomatoes
- Green chilli
- Black pepper
- Black salt
- Chaat masala
- ½ teaspoon mustard oil
and carry for snacking along the way while you are studying or travelling. Applicable to soaked, roasted and cooked chana as well. P.S. avoid this in the morning as spicy stuffs in empty stomachs may upset your tummy.
