Sharing with you one of my favorite breakfast bowl, gluten free Masala Chickpeas and Yogurt, packed with calcium and pro-biotics! 

I love yogurt! Give me bowl of yogurt, for lunch, for breakfast, and I won't mind ever! 

With day-to-day routine, I often used to miss eating yogurt regularly..... so these days, for regularity, I try to include it in my every-day foods! I always find those "ready-to-eat pro-biotic shot" little expensive.... yogurt is easiest and cost-effective way to take pro-biotics, and a few other things which we will discuss some other day. In one line, anything that can help heal our gut! Like if your body can digest fermented foods - Kimchi or Kombocha, all have similar gut-friendly characteristics!

What worked BEST, so far for me, to eat more yogurt? I would say, including in daily routine diet! Breakfast, dips, spreads, or desserts... daily routine foods can help us eat more yogurt!

Sometime back, I also complied a post on recipes using yogurt - 15 More Way to Eat More Yogurt

This yogurt and Masala Chickpea bowl has become a weekly ritual in my family! Often, I soak dried black chickpeas at night, in morning, just boil'em quickly, add salt and black pepper and pack for lunch...... for quick, healthy, and fibrous-munch-snack. Some days, after boiling chickpeas, I pan fry'em with curry powder and shallots to make Masala Chickpeas which we eat for breakfast with yogurt! Other than all benefits of yogurt, yogurt also act as cooling element with spiced chickpeas! 

Masala Chickpeas with Yogurt

Since, I always have a cup or so of soaked chickpeas on kitchen counter, often these sprout and I add'em to salad, towards end of week, like Kale and Chickpeas Sprout Salad, I shared with you sometime back.

Recently, I tried one more thing, GROWING own garbanzos i.e. fresh green chickpeas :) Thing is, when I'm not in mood to use the sprouts, and week is almost over, I put sprouted chickpeas in a wide flower pot in my patio. And they grow pretty good! This picture, I took after 2 week's growth.

Now, let's talk nutrition!

This breakfast bowl is completely gluten free, has calcium and pro-biotics from non-fat yogurt, has good serving of fiber, protein, and iron from black chickpeas, and anti-inflammatory dose of turmeric from curry powder.

Savita's Notes:

Use non-fat yogurt. Beat yogurt slightly with whisk for a appealing creamy texture. Don't season yogurt as masala chickpeas will compensate for the salt.
