About Chhole chawal

Chhole Chawal, a staple dish in North Indian cuisine, combines flavorful chickpea curry (chhole) with steamed rice (chawal). The chickpea curry is spiced with a blend of aromatic Indian spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, boiled chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, and ginger-garlic paste. The rice, often basmati, serves as a neutral base for soaking up the rich, tangy, and mildly spiced curry. High in protein and fiber, chickpeas contribute to satiety and support digestive health. The dish is also a source of complex carbohydrates from the rice, which provides sustained energy. However, depending on preparation methods and added fats like ghee or cream, the calorie and fat content can vary. Opting for minimal oil and leaner cooking techniques makes Chhole Chawal a heart-healthy, nutrient-packed meal that showcases the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine.
