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

Natco Chick Peas (Kabuli Chana) - 1kg are whole dried white chickpeas, also known as kabuli chana or garbanzo beans. Their mild, nutty flavour and creamy texture when fully cooked make them a versatile base for spiced chickpea curries, smooth hummus and tangy chaat. This 1kg pack contains dried pulses rather than canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas, giving you control over the portion size, cooking texture and seasoning for each dish.

Why Choose Natco Chick Peas?

Kabuli chana are the pale chickpea variety commonly used for chole and hummus, distinct from the darker brown chickpeas known as kala chana. Cook them until tender while retaining their shape for curries and salads, or take them to a softer texture for blending into dips. Their gentle flavour works with bold tomato-and-onion masala as well as lemon, garlic and tahini. The 1kg pack is useful for preparing several different recipes or cooking a larger batch for a family meal.

Prepare, soak and cook according to the current pack instructions until thoroughly cooked and tender. For chole, add the cooked chickpeas to your prepared masala and simmer to bring the flavours together; 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 fully cooked chickpeas, onion, tomato, ginger and warming spices, served with rice, bhatura or chapati.
