Hare Chane Ka Parantha
5 March, 2017
Hara chana is a seasonal delight around this time of the year. It is also called as hora, choliya, fresh green chickpeas. Hara chana paranthas taste a bit different from the aloo gobi ones but are more flavourful, healthy and delicious. This is my personal favourite paranthas as i love the taste of hara chana and these paranthas are also easy to make. It goes best with yogurt and homemade aam ka achar.

Never used Hara chana for stuffing. I always use sprouts but next time I will try this version.
