News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is 14th December and cold is at its peak. In such weather, we all feel like sitting under the quilt in the evening and eating something spicy. Often we open the box and see the same chips or biscuits in front of us. Or if it is too much, then chew ‘Roasted Chana’ just like that.

But do you know that this simple looking roasted gram is a treasure of your health? It is not called ‘poor man’s almond’ for nothing. It is packed with protein. And if you are bored of eating it plain, then the famous Chef Pankaj Bhadauria Has told some such ways to make it fun, knowing which you will run towards the kitchen right now.

Let us know what wonders you can do with roasted gram:

1. ‘Chaatpati Chaat’ of roasted gram
This is the easiest and everyone’s favorite. According to the chef, all you have to do is put the chickpeas in a bowl. Add finely chopped onion, tomato, green chilli and green coriander on top. The real taste will come when you squeeze some lemon in it and sprinkle chaat masala. Believe me, even the Bhelpuri sold at the cart will look pale in comparison to this.

2. Chickpea Soup (Best for Winters)
Who doesn’t like to drink soup in winter? You can prepare a thick and creamy soup by making roasted gram powder. It not only fills the stomach but also warms the body from within. This is a great dinner option for those who are trying to lose weight.

3. Roasted gram barfi or laddu
If you have a sweet tooth but are afraid of sugar, then this dish is for you. By grinding roasted gram and adding a little ghee and jaggery to it, you can make wonderful laddus or barfi. It tastes similar to gram flour laddu, but is much healthier. This is a hit item for kids’ tiffin.

4. Masala coated gram
Why eat packaged snacks from the market when you can make fresh ones at home? Heat some ghee or oil in a pan, add cumin, asafoetida, red chilli and mango powder and then add roasted gram and toss well. Keep it in a box and eat it whenever you feel hungry.

5. Healthy Powder (for shake)
If you go to the gym or lead a hectic life, then keep roasted gram powder (like Sattu) with you. Mixing it in milk or water and drinking it provides instant energy.
