Instant Pot Kala Chana or Black Chickpeas with Lauki

Kale Chana /black Chickpeas is low in fat, high in dietary fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals. Only two to three tablespoons of Black Chana is equivalent to one portion of the daily recommended five portions of fruits and vegetables. Lauki/Bottle gourd is a vegetable high in water and rich source of vitamin C, K and calcium. It helps in maintaining a healthy heart and brings down bad cholesterol levels.
So think about when we combine these two healthy ingredients together, how incredibly beneficial that recipe will be.
So let’s try this easy and super nutrient recipe in instant pot !
