By swasthi , on July 22, 2019, 6 Comments,

Chick Peas Toddler food recipe – A major Indian Population consists of vegetarians who depend on legumes  or lentils for their protein intake. There exists at least one lentil based dish in every meal. Chickpeas called as chole or chana are rich in protein and fiber making them a good option for kids including toddlers.

To make this Indian toddler food, chickpeas have to be soaked overnight before cooking else they might leave the kid bloated with a tummy ache.Carrots and chickpeas make a good combo and carrots add mild sweetness to the food. Indian cuisine is all about using spices not only for flavor but also for health benefits. carom seeds are used in this recipe to alleviate gas.

If you do not prefer to use mild garam masala for toddlers and kids, you can skip. But we do use in moderation along with ground turmeric.
