Hi All

Today I am sharing matra chaat recipe. It’s very healthy. Yellow Peas are part of the legume family. These Whole Yellow Peas are about 1/4 inch wide and pale yellow to beige in color. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and soft, granular texture. It has several benefits :

1. A rich source of vitamins A, B and C, fiber, protein and potassium.
2. High levels of calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and potassium, B vitamins and folic acid.
3. Low in fat.
4. High in soluble fiber peas help balance blood sugar levels while providing steady, slow-burning energy.
5. Rich in protein
