Nahit recipe
information
Nahit, also known as bob (Yiddish for "beans"), are chick peas as they are eaten in Russia and Poland. In Poland, it was traditional for Jews to eat these on the birth of a child. Chick peas, and also green peas, are symbols of the continuity of life because they are round. This recipe is also associated with Purim in western Russia and Poland.
