Chana pulao

Chana pulao is a flavorful and nutritious Indian dish made with chickpeas (chana) and rice. It's typically prepared by sautéing onions, spices, and sometimes tomatoes in oil or ghee, then adding cooked chickpeas and rice to the mixture. The rice and chickpeas are cooked together, absorbing the aromatic spices and flavors. Commonly used spices include cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric, which give the dish its distinct taste. Chopped cilantro and mint leaves are often used for garnish. Chana pulao is a satisfying one-pot meal that can be served on its own or with yogurt, raita, or a side salad. It's a popular vegetarian option and can be customized to suit different tastes by adjusting the spice levels and ingredients.
