Try Our Green Chickpeas Hummus Recipe This Winter

Here’s a cholia hummus recipe for you which will blow your mind!

Receding winters in the North bring along with carts selling mounds of green bush like vegetables all over the place. If you look closely, you will find little green pods in those bushes and inside them are the precious green seeds popularly known as cholia or green garbanzo. They are essentially fresh green version of the dried chickpeas.

I have very fond memories of eating roasted cholia as a snack while growing up, every evening there would be a cart walking down the streets with a large cast iron kadhai in which he will almost char the green pods, cooking the inside beans slowly resulting in a sweet pod that was a delight to eat even when peeling was a tedious affair.
