Whole Brown Chickpeas for Spiced Kala Chana Curry and Tangy Chaat

TRS Brown Chick Peas (Kala Chana) - 500g are whole dried brown chickpeas, also called kala chana or desi chana. Their earthy flavour and pleasantly firm bite when thoroughly cooked suit rich curries, tangy chaat and warm seasoned chickpea dishes. The 500g pack is a practical smaller-pack choice for cooking from scratch or trying a new kala chana recipe. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

Why Choose TRS Brown Chick Peas?

Kala chana is distinct from pale kabuli chana, with a darker skin and a robust texture that works well in dishes where the cooked chickpeas remain whole. Their earthy taste pairs with cumin, ginger and coriander, while lemon or tamarind adds a contrasting tang. Use fully cooked chickpeas in a saucy onion-and-tomato masala, or drain and toss them with a spice tempering for a drier side dish. This 500g pack lets you measure out the quantity your recipe needs without opening a larger bag.

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 for a thicker gravy. For chaat or salads, use fully cooked chickpeas and combine with the dressing and fresh ingredients shortly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Make kala chana curry with thoroughly cooked chickpeas, tomato, onion, ginger and warming spices, served with rice or chapati.
  • Prepare chana chaat with cooked brown chickpeas, tamarind chutney, chopped onion, tomato and fresh coriander.
  • Toss cooked chickpeas with lemon juice, roasted cumin and coriander for a warm chickpea side dish.
  • Use fully cooked kala chana in sundal with mustard seeds, curry leaves and grated coconut.
  • Combine cooled, thoroughly cooked chickpeas with cucumber, peppers and a lemon dressing for a textured chickpea salad.
