Whole White Chickpeas for Family-Sized Chole, Creamy Hummus and Chaat

Natco Chick Peas (Kabuli Chana) - 2kg are whole dried white chickpeas, also called kabuli chana or garbanzo beans. Their mild, nutty flavour and creamy centre when thoroughly cooked suit rich chickpea curries, smooth hummus and tangy chaat. The larger 2kg pack can be portioned for regular cooking or used to prepare a bigger meal for sharing. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

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. Cooking from dried lets you choose the quantity, seasoning and finished texture for each recipe. Keep the cooked chickpeas tender but intact for curries and salads, or cook them softer for blending into a creamy dip. The 2kg pack suits households that prepare chickpea dishes regularly, without needing to use the entire bag at once.

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 sauce if you prefer a thicker gravy. 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, 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.
  • Stir cooked chickpeas into vegetable soup or a tomato-based stew for a substantial texture and creamy bite.
