Bengal gram is also known as chickpea or garbanzo beans. This legume is safe to feed, however I can find no reference regarding the leaves. In certain cases, the leave or stems of a plant can be toxic while the "fruit" is not. For this reason, as well as not finding a concrete reference either way, I would not recommend feeding the leaves to Coco.
