The Chick Pea, Broccoli and Carrot Stir-Fry is a super interesting way to top up your protein stores. It has varied textures, from the mealy texture of kabuli chana to the crunch of sautéed veggies, not to forget the fabulous aroma and flavour of sesame seeds.

Ingredients like chilli sauce, ginger and garlic paste give this stir-fry a typical Oriental taste. This recipe gives you lots of protein, from sesame seeds and chick peas, as well as other valuable nutrients from the awesome veggies.

Although its irresistible taste might tempt you, avoid having this stir-fry for dinner as chick peas might be difficult to digest at night, especially for expectant mothers.
