About Cooked chhola

Cooked Chhola, also known as cooked chickpeas, is a versatile dish primarily found in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Made from dried or canned chickpeas simmered until tender, it often includes a blend of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and occasionally tomatoes or onions for added flavor. Chhola is rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate and iron, making it a filling and heart-healthy option. It is naturally low in fat when prepared without heavy oils or creams, supporting good digestion and balanced blood sugar levels. However, depending on preparation, calorie content can increase with added butter, cream, or fried components, so moderation is key. This dish is vegetarian and vegan-friendly, offering an excellent plant-based protein source for those seeking nutritious alternatives. Typically paired with rice or flatbreads, Cooked Chhola is a flavorful, wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
