Food Diary: Chana


Chana is a generic term for chickpeas and pulses, another of the staple foods of India. It is often used in curries. Puri Bahji is a common breakfast of puri bread and an aloo and chana soup. In Bihar and other places in India, chana is ground into a flour called sattu and used in desserts and littis, spiced balls that are grilled over charcoal. Of course, the most famous use of chana is in Chana Masala, among the most popular dishes in India.
