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.
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.
