Channa Pulao /Chickpeas Pulao - Easy One Pot Channa Pulao




After sharing couple of gravies using legumes,today I am sharing an one pot meal with channa/chickpeas.

My kids love pulaos and biriyanis,so often I make.I have already shared a spicy version of channa pualo,but this one with few whole spices and coconut milk.

This is one of the quickest and tastiest option for a healthy lunch box.Addition of coconut milk and the ground mint make this pulao more fragrant.Serve this with a curry or onion raitha for a wholesome meal.
