Fried Channa, a popular snack in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India and Pakistan, is made from split chickpeas (channa dal) that are deep-fried until crispy. Often seasoned with a blend of spices such as turmeric, chili powder, and salt, its bold flavors make it a favorite street food and tea-time companion. Chickpeas are naturally rich in protein, dietary fiber, and several important minerals like magnesium and potassium, making Fried Channa a nutrient-dense option. However, because it's typically prepared through deep-frying, the calorie and fat content can be high, which may not align with some dietary goals. As a versatile food, it can be adapted with alternative cooking methods like roasting to make a healthier version while retaining its satisfying crunch and flavor.
