Chick peas are often referred to as Garbanzos or chana and are a good source of proteins. They come in two or three varieties. The most popular are the fairly large white chick peas often called Kabuli Chana, the small dark brown variety or a strange almost greeny colour.. They can be cooked in lots of different styles and also served with rotlis, puris or bhaturas. They can also be eaten boiled in salads or bhels or even fried to be eaten as a snack.
