Kala Chana Shorba / Black Chickpeas Soup

December 30, 2015 By Priya Shiva 21 Comments

Print Recipe

Kala Chana Shorba is a wholesome, comforting soup made with black chickpeas and blend of mild spices. Its winter time and we think of soothing soup, stew and warm food. I always love to cook with chickpeas and it has its own health benefits. Chickpeas or also known as garbanzo beans make any dish wholesome as it is rich in protein and fiber. I have not added any cream and tried to keep this soup as healthy as possible. The spices combine very well with chickpeas making this soup so delicious. If you are looking for some healthy soups, try the ones listed below. Just click on the name for the recipe:

This is also my last post for the year 2015 but I will be back with more posts in 2016. I have no big resolutions but I do have some plans in my mind which include spending more time with my camera and bringing more new dishes for you which means more kitchen experiments πŸ™‚ .. So, stay tuned and wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!

      Thank you Michele. You can easily get dry mango powder in any spice store or try online in sites like amazon. If you are not able to find it, replace it with little tamarind water.
