White Chickpeas for Creamy Hummus, Spiced Chole and Fresh Chaat

Natco Chick Peas (Kabuli Chana) - 500g are whole dried white chickpeas, also known as kabuli chana or garbanzo beans. Once thoroughly cooked, their gently nutty flavour and creamy centre work beautifully in tomato-based curries, smooth dips and tangy chickpea dishes. This 500g pack is a convenient option when you want a smaller pack for cooking from scratch. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

Why Choose Natco Chick Peas?

Kabuli chana are the pale chickpeas commonly used in chole and hummus, distinct from the darker brown variety known as kala chana. Cooking from dried lets you prepare the quantity you need and choose the finished texture for your recipe. Keep the cooked chickpeas tender but intact for salads and curries, or cook until softer for blending into a creamy dip. Their mild flavour pairs with warming Indian spices as well as lemon, garlic and tahini, so one pack can be used across several styles of dish.

Follow the current pack instructions for soaking and cooking, and cook thoroughly until tender before serving. For chole, simmer the cooked chickpeas in a 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 and add a little suitable liquid to reach your preferred consistency.

Serving Suggestions

• Make chole masala with cooked chickpeas, onion, tomato, ginger and warming spices, served with rice, chapati or bhatura.
