During winters, you can easily found fresh green chickpeas in market. The taste of any recipe will increase when we used fresh and seasonal vegetables. Most of time I prepared green peas stuffed paratha for breakfast but this time I tried green chickpeas parathas with same technique.
For this paratha, you have to cook grounded chickpeas with green chilies and spices in oil and your stuffing is ready to make parathas.
Green Chickpeas is a seasonal delight during winters. It is also called hara chana, choliya, and hora. Hara chana paratha is quite different in texture and taste from aloo or gobhi parathas but more flavorful, healthy and tasty. You can serve this paratha with curd and mango or chili pickle.
