Whole Brown Chickpeas for Family-Sized Kala Chana Curry and Chaat

Fudco Brown Chick Peas (Kala Chana) - 1.5kg are whole dried brown chickpeas, also known as kala chana or desi chana. Their earthy flavour and pleasantly firm bite when thoroughly cooked suit spiced curries, tangy chaat and warm seasoned chickpea dishes. The 1.5kg pack can be portioned for regular cooking or used to prepare a larger meal for sharing. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

Why Choose Fudco Brown Chick Peas?

Kala chana is distinct from pale kabuli chana, with a darker skin and a robust texture that suits dishes where the cooked chickpeas remain whole. Its earthy taste pairs with cumin, ginger, garlic and coriander, while lemon or tamarind provides a contrasting tang. Simmer fully cooked chickpeas in an onion-and-tomato gravy, or drain them and toss with a spice tempering for a drier dish. The 1.5kg pack gives you flexibility to measure out different quantities for curries, side dishes and chaat without using the entire bag at once.

Follow the current pack instructions for soaking and cooking, and cook thoroughly until tender before serving. For curry, simmer the cooked chickpeas in your prepared masala and mash a few into the sauce if you prefer a thicker gravy. For chaat and salads, use fully cooked chickpeas and combine with the dressing and fresh ingredients shortly before serving.
