Chickpeas are the most widely consumed legume in the world. Extremely high in protein, chickpeas are ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. They are wonderfully versatile, very tasty and filling and an inexpensive source of nutritional benefits for overall health and protection from disease.
The nutritional value in canned chickpeas is very poor compared with traditionally cooked chickpeas.
Hence try cooking chickpeas at home, soak them in water for 4-5 hrs or overnight and then boil them in a cooker with twice the amount of water.
The stock of the chickpeas too is very nutritious and can be used while making curry or the plain stock can be used to make the tradtional "Saaru" or seasoned soup.
Broccoli is known as miracle food.
It has most of the nutrients which are beneficial for our body.
I started eating Broccoli the day my lil one started recognising vegetables and wanted to eat a "green cauliflower".
Thats how our interest and fascination for broccoli began.
Broccoli also has another interesting interpretation from one of my close friends kid, she likes broccoli cause she thinks she is eating "Small Trees"
In the past, I have always tasted broccoli soup in different restaurants, but somehow my daughter never managed to like it until the day I made my own style of soup
"Cream of Broccoli Soup"
Tomato soup , having this soup since my childhood, but most comforting when made by mom...very easy to make...
I make this daily for my lil one..
