Fresh Green Chana Salad/Chaat

-




It is one of the fresh delicacies I enjoyed in my childhood. The fresh chana is only available during winter after January till march or say Holi.

In Bihar/Jharkahnd we make chaat/salad, stir fried chaat, pakora (called bhabhara), halwa, Ghughani (Chana masala gravy) etc.

It can either be eaten fresh or boiled or fried too.

In Bangalore, it is really hard to get it easily available but somehow I got it and i was really happy even with limited quantity. But I was little indecisive about what to cook and what not to cook but finally, I decide to make something healthier out of it. so I have made Salad - fresh and tangy.

My grandfather used to bring in a big lot during Shivratri and we all family member used to peel it for the delicacy for the next day when we used to relish after breaking day-long fast. And it used to start with fresh chana pakora which we call Bhabhara. Its really nostalgic and still I remember the smell of those Bhabhara's made by my mother especially. I really miss them.

Angoori rasmalai is an Indian  dessert  consumed mainly in  India , as well as in  Pakistan  and  Bangladesh .  Angoori derives its name from Angoor which is  Hindi  for grape, signifying the shape and form, and also alluding to its sweetness.  The name  ras malai  comes from two words in Hindi:  ras , meaning "juice", and  malai , meaning "cream".  The dessert is made from  cottage cheese  which is then soaked in  chashni , a sugary  syrup , and rolled in fine sugar to form grape-sized balls.
