I tried this recipe yesterday. Used boiled K Chana, didn’t wait for it to sprout . Turned out really well. Very tasty. In fact even my kid who is not very much into veg food loved it.

What if I just used regular boiled Kabuli chana instead of the sprouted one??

Tarla Dalal Yes you can use cooked kabuli chana also. We have suggested sprouted chana as it has higher nutritional value. Do try the recipe and share your comments.
