Chana Biryani

Chana biryani is a delicious variation of biryani where chickpeas (chana) are the star ingredient instead of meat or mixed vegetables. It combines aromatic basmati rice with chickpeas cooked in a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The dish is layered with fried onions, mint, and cilantro, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal. Chana biryani is often served with raita (yogurt sauce) or a side of salad, making it a popular choice among vegetarians and those who enjoy hearty, spiced dishes in Indian cuisine.
