Introduction
For all my vegetarian friends out there, there are so many possibilities if you are really looking for good source of protein in your diet, and especially varieties of beans has always proved to be a good source of protein. As a kid, I was never a fan of beans except for some. But growing up, I have tasted different cuisines and this has been one of favorites as it goes so well with rice or roti or even with chuira (beaten rice) or simply aloo chana. I have put together a list for this recipe and I'm sure you will love it!
