There’s a simple joy in holding a warm bag of channa on a sunny afternoon — the steam rising, the scent of garlic and pepper filling the air, and the first bite that makes your whole mood change. Whether it’s soft, spicy, or tangy with lime, channa is one of those snacks that feel like pure comfort.
Buying a bag right after school and eating it before we even reach home.
Sharing with friends under the shade, shaking the bag so everyone gets equal Pepper. Watching the vendor scoop it fresh from the pot, calling out “Hot channa! Lime and pepper!”
Every bite feels homely — warm, simple, and full of love. 🌞
Channa connects us. It’s found everywhere — from market stalls to street corners — and no two vendors make it the same. Some soak it soft, some keep it firm, but all carry that unmistakable Guyanese flavor.
Channa is more than peas in a bag — it’s a piece of Guyanese street life.
Every handful reminds us of where we come from and how good simple things can be
