Kelli chana is a popular food on the roads of Manipur. The dish got it's name; it seems, from an old lady named Kelli who used to sell spicy chickpeas under a tree. It is prepared with flavorful herbs as well as flavors with chickpeas being the cornerstone in it. Traditionally, Kelli Chana is served on a lotus leaf which contributes a beautiful local and fresh touch to this mouthwatering dish.
