Healthy Kala Chana Soup

Kala chana soup

Kala Chana soup is a rich source of iron. Iron is very important for formation of hemoglobin and soup can help in maintaining your hemoglobin level.

I made the Kala Chana Soup from the leftover water after I boiled the chana  for Kanjak , or for salad or sprout. I didn't feel like throwing the water as we use the dry chana. 

First time when I made this kala chana soup , my kids tasted a little, thinking that it might not be that delicious but after taking one sip ,they said it's very tasty and demanded more, It was so delicious with flavor of garlic and ginger. Making of kala channa soup is very simple.
