About Rice with black chickpeas

Rice with Black Chickpeas is a wholesome dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian and Pakistani households. It combines fluffy rice with flavorful black chickpeas, also known as kala chana, simmered in spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander. This nutrient-dense meal is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making it an excellent option for sustained energy and digestion support. Black chickpeas are a good source of iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, while the rice provides a balanced base. When prepared with minimal oil and sodium, it is heart-healthy and supports weight management. However, excessive use of ghee, oil, or refined white rice can increase its calorie content, making it less suitable for those watching fat intake. Ideal for vegetarians and vegans, this dish is versatile, customizable, and perfect for a nutritious, filling meal.
