FollowMy simple, hearty breakfast today — pressure-cooked chickpeas with 2 eggs.
Mum soaked the chickpeas overnight, and this morning she pressure cooked them for 30 minutes until they turned soft and creamy. She added turmeric powder, homegrown curry leaves and a little salt for extra flavour and goodness.
This will probably be our main plant protein for the next few days. Honestly, cooking chickpeas is so easy with a pressure cooker — no fuss, nutritious and budget-friendly too.
Besides being an excellent source of plant protein, chickpeas also have many health benefits:
• Rich in fibre, which helps with digestion and keeps you full longer
• Helps stabilise blood sugar levels due to its low glycaemic index
• Good for heart health as it may help lower bad cholesterol
• Contains iron, folate and magnesium, which support energy production and overall health
• High in antioxidants that help reduce inflammation
• Supports gut health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria
• Helps with weight management because it is filling and satisfying
• Naturally low in saturated fat and contains no cholesterol
• A good source of complex carbohydrates for steady energy release
Simple food can be some of the healthiest and most comforting meals. 😊
