Hara Choliya aur Baigan sabzi- Delicious seasonal Fresh green gram and brinjal stir fry
Hara Choliya aur Baigan sabzi- Choliya /fresh green chana is fresh tender green gram,different from the dried chickpeas which we use to make choley. Its harvest time is winter season so very easily available in North India .On road sides we can see vendors and vegetable shops selling big pods or seperated pods of fresh choliya.
In my family we first offer the fresh crop of chana and wheat to holika dahan pooja .The big stalks of tender chana and wheat are roasted over the flame and then distributed as prashad.
Their are many recipes and dishes which can be made with fresh hara chana/choliya,we can make cutlets ,pulao,curry ,sweets and much more.The peeling of fresh choliya is quite time consuming but its worth the effort,half of the chana is often consumed while peeling itself.
This time I tried this simple hara choliya and baigan ki subzi ,which is quick ,easy and simple and full of fresh flavour of choliya.
