Yay, after so many months had an opportunity to eat Lilwe (we call fresh and soft green chickpeas as lilva in Udaipur, Rajasthan). My mother was here in Bengaluru for few days and had brought hara chana from Rajasthan. So without wasting a single day I made this mouth watering khichdi with hot besan kadi.
