A special bond calls for a special pair! Just like the perfect partnership of a brother and sister, this recipe pairs high-protein Kala Chana Rice with high-fiber Prunes Raita to make an ideal combo. The fiber in prunes helps with protein digestion, making this not just a delicious meal, but a smart one too. The mild sweetness of the prunes in the raita perfectly complements the spicy kala chana rice, creating a balance you’ll love.
I used prunes from Chile, which you can easily find online or at your local grocery store. Here’s how to make this fantastic Raksha Bandhan duo.
