Jumbo White Chickpeas for Chole Masala, Creamy Hummus and Chana Chaat

Fudco Jumbo Chick Peas (Kabuli Chana) - 1.5kg are whole dried white chickpeas sold as Jumbo on the pack, distinct from Fudco's regular Chick Peas listing. Their mild, nutty flavour and creamy centre when thoroughly cooked suit spiced chickpea curries, smooth dips and tangy chaat. The 1.5kg pack can be portioned for everyday recipes or used to prepare a larger meal for sharing. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

Why Choose Fudco Jumbo Chick Peas?

The pack-labelled Jumbo format is useful when choosing chickpeas for dishes where you want the whole chickpeas to be a prominent part of the meal. Kabuli chana are white chickpeas, distinct from the darker brown variety known as kala chana. Cook them until tender while keeping them intact for chole and salads, or cook them softer for blending into hummus. Their gentle flavour pairs with ginger, garlic and warming spices as well as lemon and tahini, giving the 1.5kg pack a range of uses.

Follow the current pack instructions for soaking and cooking, and cook thoroughly until tender before serving. For chole, simmer the cooked chickpeas in your prepared onion-and-tomato masala; mash a few into the gravy if you prefer a thicker sauce. For hummus, blend fully cooked chickpeas with your chosen ingredients, adding a little suitable liquid to adjust the consistency.

Serving Suggestions

  • Make chole masala with thoroughly cooked jumbo chickpeas, tomato, onion, ginger and warming spices, served with rice, chapati or bhatura.
  • Blend cooked chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil for creamy hummus to serve with flatbread.
  • Prepare chana chaat with cooked chickpeas, tamarind chutney, chopped onion, tomato and fresh coriander.
  • Toss cooled, thoroughly cooked chickpeas with cucumber, roasted peppers and a lemon dressing for a chickpea salad.
  • Add cooked chickpeas to a vegetable stew or grain bowl with your preferred sauce and vegetables.
