Val Chana

Val Chana is a traditional Indian dish made from sprouted field beans, also known as Val or Hyacinth beans. These beans are cooked in a rich, spiced gravy made with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The dish is often garnished with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor. Val Chana is typically enjoyed with steamed rice, roti, or bhakri, offering a hearty and nutritious meal that is both flavorful and filling. This dish is especially popular in Gujarati and Maharashtrian cuisine, where it is a staple during meals.
