Chickpea Vegetable Stock (Kaabuli Chaney Saaru)

Chickpea vegetable stock has been my favorite vegetable stock since I was a child. I fondly remember the days when I used to ask Mom to boil Chickpea's just to get the delicious and nutritious Kaabuli Chaney Saaru. Chickpea is called as Kaabuli Chanaa in Konkani. Vegetable stock go well as an accompaniement with rice and are generally neutral type of food; so this one acts light on the tummy and does not give you a heavy feeling after dinner or lunch. Vegetable stock also helps us make optimum utilization of vegetables and their usage.
