This Chane ki subji is connected to my childhood memories. one of the most delicious leaves, can be eaten raw, cooked or pounded lightly like a chutney along with some chillies and salt. chana leaves bhaji is a healthy dish made with tender chana leaves or chick pea leaves. It can be served with Jowar roti and even with rice with some ghee added to it.

I harvested chickpea in my small patio garden. you can grow them  hydroponically. growing chickpea leaves is very easy and can be harvested within 4 weeks.

I mentioned few interesting facts about chickpea plants and growing tips in video. at the end of the video, you can watch the delicious dish we cooked with the harvested chickpea leaves.i have enjoyed eating this dark green tender pods during winters .
