  • Garbanzo Beans Chaat Recipe

    Garbanzo Beans Chaat ( Clean Eating Version)

    Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas are a nutrient-rich food, providing high amounts of protein, fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B-6 and thiamine, making them a healthy addition to any diet.

    They may also help you lose weight, especially if you eat them instead of higher-fat sources of protein like beef, or chicken. They are high in dietary fibre which means it’s harder for the body to digest them, in turn making their glyceminc index low.

    Garbanzo Beans Chaat (Black chickpeas) is one of Pakistani’s favorite food made with chickpeas and other spices. Everyone will like it and ask for more when you serve.

    I love fried fish. While it make my tummy rumble in ecstasy, my blood vessels are shuttering with fear of all that cholesterol. 😛

    We usually have the batter made out of white flour, or maybe cornflour (hello, sky-high insulin), and then deep-fried in some vat of polyunsaturated fat that has been used over and over, creating a huge batch of trans-fat laden ooze that your fish is swimming in before it reaches your plate, all to wreck havoc on your health. Okay, so maybe now you don’t love fried fish so much? Sorry to ruin it for ya! But here’s my healthy, and lip-smacking alternative!!

    In this Salmon Fish Fry recipe I have used Salmon fish which cook well of the bone. You can experiment with other fish. Meatier fish like tilapia fish, Sole and halibut work very well too.Salmon fish tastes the best when marinated with spices and fried. I had this salmon fish fry with the roasted veggies and such a treat it was…. the perfect delicious clean eating meal.
