Kala Chana Chaat - Diabetic friendly Recipe

Hope you are enjoying this Cooking Carnival together with me. As most of you know, I have picked up 26 diet recipes which I categorise under one sub-theme each week. And, for this week, its going to be 6 Diabetic-friendly recipes. When I decided on this theme, I gathered some info from my amma (MIL) who is managing her diabetics very effeciently. She is a very strong woman who strictly follows the prescribed diet and never gives in to cravings. For day 1 of this week, it is a healthy Chaat recipe made with Black chickpea or Kala Channa, which is rich in protein. Hence, it makes up for a filling mid-meal snack or a side-dish.
