This recipe pairs high-protein Kala Chana Rice with high-fiber Prunes Raita make an ideal combo. The fiber in prunes helps with protein digestion, making this not just a delicious meal, but a smart one too. The mild sweetness of the prunes in the raita perfectly complements the spicy kala chana rice, creating a balance you’ll love.
I used prunes from Chile, which you can easily find online or at your local grocery store.

Recipe -

Kala Chana Rice
* In a pressure cooker, heat 2 tbsp ghee. Add bay leaves, a cinnamon stick, 3-4 cloves, and 2 tsp cumin seeds.
* Once the cumin crackles, add 1/2 tsp asafoetida (hing), finely chopped ginger and garlic, and saute for 5 minutes.
* Add one large sliced onion and some salt, frying until the onion is cooked.
* Stir in 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 2 tsp coriander powder, and 1 tsp garam masala. Cook for 5-7 minutes on low heat.
* Once the masala releases ghee, add the puree of 3-4 tomatoes and let it cook.
* Add overnight-soaked kala chana and 1/2 cup water. Pressure cook on medium heat for 3 whistles.
* After the cooker cools, add finely chopped capsicum and carrot.
* Stir in 1 cup of rice (soaked for 30 minutes) and 1 cup water. Pressure cook for one more whistle on medium heat.
* Garnish with fresh coriander.
Prunes Raita
* In 1.5 cups of beaten curd, mix in 2 medium shredded cucumbers, 6-8 finely chopped prunes, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder, and chili powder.
* Mix well and serve chilled with your kala chana rice.
