Lila Kanda Chana Na Lot Nu Shaak/Spring Onion Chickpea Flour Fry/Kandacha Patichya Zunka is a very quick and delicious dish made with spring onions and chickpea flour. It is very handy to make when you run out of vegetables. It is made with very few ingredients but is still flavorful. Serve it with chapati, bhakri, juwar or bhajri bhakri. Sukha lehsun chutney, chopped onions, and yogurt are the best accompaniment to the dish. I even enjoy it with steam rice. It is enjoyed by all and is easy to make for dinner during a busy weeknight.
This sabji is known as lila kanda nu shaak in Gujarati but follows the same method as of preparing zunka in Maharashtra. Zunka is the Maharashtrian recipe made with onions and chickpea flour.
It is suitable for people following Vegan Diet. If you avoid adding asafoetida, it is suitable for Glutenfree diet.
