#winter #sesamepeanut
Winters bring along lots of fresh vegetables in the market! One such vegetable is the fresh haraa chanaa i.e. fresh green chickpeas. Again, in winters we try to include sesame and other food stuffs known for their heat creating properties to combat the chill.

Peanuts when teamed with sesame, give delicious results. Hence we can find many recipes combining these two, like Shimla Mirchi Panchamrut, especially the Tilaache Laadoo!

Here, I have created a healthy dish combining some nutritious food stuffs, whithout any compromise on it's taste! As we all know, paneer, potatoes, peanuts, sesame and the fresh haraa chanaa are all very healthy. When combined in an apt manner, we get an absolutely delicious and nutritious as well as a filling dish.
