Brown Chickpeas for Warming Kala Chana Curry and Tangy Chaat

Uthra Brown Chick Peas (Kala Chana) - 500g are whole dried brown chickpeas, labelled Deshi Kala Chana on the pack. Their earthy, nutty flavour and firm bite when thoroughly cooked suit spiced curries, tangy chaat and coconut-seasoned sundal. The 500g pack can be measured out to suit your recipe without choosing a larger bag for your pantry. These are uncooked dried pulses, not canned or ready-to-eat chickpeas.

Why Choose Uthra Brown Chick Peas?

Kala chana are brown chickpeas, distinct from the white variety known as kabuli chana. Their textured skins and tender centres when properly cooked give curries and salads a satisfying whole-chickpea bite. Their earthy flavour pairs with cumin, coriander, ginger and garlic, as well as lemon, tamarind and coconut. The 500g format is a smaller-pack option for exploring these dishes or preparing your usual chickpea recipes.

Follow the current packet instructions for soaking and cooking, and cook thoroughly until tender before serving. For curry, simmer the cooked chickpeas in your prepared onion-and-tomato masala so the sauce coats them. For chaat or salads, use thoroughly cooked chickpeas and combine with your chosen vegetables, herbs and dressing.
