Kala chana masala with millet rotis is a wholesome North Indian-style meal that pairs protein-packed black chickpeas with fibre-rich bajra rotis. The curry gets its depth from caramelised onions, fresh tomatoes, and warm spices, while the millet roti adds a rustic, nutty edge that complements the dish beautifully.
