Tangy Achari Chana Pulao

This is one of the best pulao from my kitchen, and my husband is very fond of this, till now many friends and relatives have tasted it, and everyone loved it. I pack this for lunch too because Chickpeas (Kabuli Chana) are very fulling and healthy option. This is tangy, highly fragrant and pickle flavour pulao that one can't resist without. This recipe is with some twist other than adding pickle, i tried and it came out so colourful with great aroma.
