Roasted Chana – The Protein-Packed Snack
If there’s one Indian snack that is both light and nutrient-rich, it has to be roasted chana (bhuna chana). Known as a quick energy booster, roasted chana is a staple in Indian households, often eaten on its own or with a sprinkle of salt, masala, or jaggery.
Why it’s healthy:
-
Packed with plant-based protein, making it ideal for vegetarians and vegans.
-
High in dietary fiber, which keeps you full for longer and aids digestion.
-
Low in calories compared to fried snacks.
-
Rich in essential vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium.
How to enjoy it in Berlin:
-
As a mid-day office snack, instead of chips.
-

-
Pair with jaggery or peanuts for a traditional Indian-style trail mix.
