    An empty fridge with no veggies? Fret not – try this delicious Garbanzo Beans Stir-Fry instead of a dry vegetable curry. The perfect side for your rice and the perfect mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. This garbanzo beans sundal is an easy-to-make stir-fry which is full of vitamins and proteins. Check out the video recipe and how I served this along with the tomato rice.

    Garbanzo Beans Stir-Fry

    I know we always prepare the legume-based stir-frys or sundal during Navratri. But sundals are not only a great Navaratri prasadam but also a guilt-free and a healthy snack that curbs the hunger pangs. You can enjoy it with your coffee or tea too. As it is not for neivediyam (offering to God), I included onions as well.

    But you can always skip the onion and also replace garbanzo beans with any other beans that you prefer. This is a basic recipe. You can mix and match other veggies and come up with your version.

    My Vitamin B12 Saga

    I know I had shared this on my IG a while ago, but I am repeating it for my blog readers. Last year I found out that I have Vitamin B deficiency. I am not following a vegan diet, but still, I found it is difficult to get that heavy dosage of Vitamin B12 from your daily vegetarian diet. No wonder I was feeling tired and fatigue and even depressed at times.

    My numbers were so low that I had to take B12 shots on a regular basis. B12 shots are not fun. Errr no shots are fun. I had my last shot a couple of months before, and now I am on supplementary pills. Even though I am on supplemental, I wanted to make sure our daily food intake at least has some traces of Vitamin B12. I am in the learning process, and I will share what I learned and cooked on my blog and as well as on my Instagram feed.

    Vegetarian and Vegan Sources of B-12

    Vitamin B12 is abundant in animal products. There are only a few fine foods like dark green vegetables, tofu, edamame, soy nuts, butternut squash, some mushroom varieties, dairy products, calcium-fortified non-dairy beverages and bean sprouts that carry vitamin b12. Bean sprouts and legumes are a good (not excellent) source of the B vitamins riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, thiamin, and niacin. (Source: WebMD).

    I started to include a lot of sprouts and legumes in our diet. I usually make this Kala Channa Chat with sprouted black chickpeas; boiled peanuts sundal during the peanut season, matki usal, soybeans chole, etc.
