I don't think cholay add to fattening...rather they burn the fat of your body like potatoes do... :)

PS: So don't blame the cholay of even one chola... :D

kabli cheney actually are thought to be helpful in better digestion, when eaten empty stomach, perhaps because chick peas makes them to fill the stomach well.
it will also depend on the recipe with which they are prepaped.
of course, eating things in limited quantity is always good for any good food.

i dont think they are fattening unless you cook them in way too much grease..cholay/white kabuli chane and kaalay chane are rich in protiens, not in carbs, which builds on tissue rather than fat...they are also a very good source of fibre which aids in digestion and prevent fats to be absorbed by the body...hope this helps :-)

Re: are cholay fattening?

my mumani made amazing cholay the other day-
she sauteed ginger and garlic in a little bit of oil. then she added in one tbsp of achar gosht masala from Shan and sauteed it a bit more. then she added in one can of diced tomatoes and two small cans of chickpeas and cooked it until it reached a boil, then she turned it down and let it simmer for about an hour.
they were SO FREAKIN' GOOD!
