Black channa with dill leaves rice
About:
This recipe is my mom’s favorite. Thank you mom for continued support, good wishes and blessings.
Black chana with dill leaves is a perfect one pot meal. This recipe I used sprouted black chickpeas, using dill leaves is a typical Indian style.
Health benefits:
Chickpea/garbanzo bean are healthy addition to any diet as they are naturally low in fat, high in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals.
Dill has been used as a herb in most of the salad dressings/pickles. They help in good digestion, relief from insomnia, hiccups, diarrhea, dysentery, respiratory disorders, cancer etc. it is also good for oral care.
