Notes: Chickpeas are rich in proteins, this is low in saturated fat and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein and Copper. And it's favorite street food of many from kids to dadi's from south to North. Nothing beats home made right, and can be enjoyed without fear as it is not safe to take outside food specially in this season. So, we can keep our kids happy by making this at home.
