Kala Channa Black Chickpeas
Recipe
Intro
Kala Channa, a dish packed full of fibre & protein and it’s one of your five a day! It’s also a very cheap dish to make and it can serve a family of 4-5 people.
I tend to use tinned chick peas just because it’s quicker to cook and great if you forgot to soak the chick peas the night before. I like to serve this dish with hot chapattis and with a cucumber and onion salad. But it also pairs well with boiled basmati rice.
You can now learn how to cook this cheap and yummy dish by following the step by step photos below.

ALOO PALAK | POTATO SPINACH RECIPE
Mazadaar
Prepping your meals in advance doesn’t mean you have to eat the same boring meals everyday.
I plan what I’m cooking for the following week on a Friday and I’ll do the food shop on the Friday or Saturday. Then I’ll cook all the food for the week ahead on the Sunday. Things like salad, boiling rice I’ll do fresh before eating but most of the meals are ready.
Meals I’ve cooked for meal prepping in the photos are:
1. Chicken katsu curry with udon noodles & a pickled salad
2. Moroccan lamb stew with lemon Cous Cous and a side salad
3. Leftover mince & black eyed bean curry with cheese in a panini toasted for lunch
4. Mince & black eyed bean curry with roti & salad
5. Pakora wrap with imli chutney, chilli sauce & salad
6. Chicken & veg pasta
7. Mackerel Cous Cous salad
