About this product
Brown chickpeas, also known as desi chana or kala chana, are a smaller, darker variety of the more common white chickpeas (garbanzo beans). They have a rougher exterior and a nuttier, earthier flavor. When cooked, they retain their shape well and have a firm, chewy texture, making them ideal for a variety of hearty dishes. Brown chickpeas are round, with a thick, rough brown skin. They are denser and firmer than kabuli chickpeas, making them suitable for slow-cooking recipes that benefit from a chewy texture. When soaked and boiled, they soften but maintain their shape well. Brown chickpeas have a deep, earthy, and nutty flavor. They absorb spices and seasoning well, making them ideal for richly flavored dishes.
Common Uses:
- Chana Masala: A popular Indian curry made with boiled brown chickpeas, tomatoes, onions, and spices.
- Sundal: A South Indian stir-fried dish where boiled chickpeas are tossed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and grated coconut.
- Salads: Cooked brown chickpeas add protein and texture to grain bowls or cold salads.
- Stews & Soups: Their hearty texture holds up well in slow-cooked dishes, stews, and brothy soups.
- Snacks: Roasted or spiced boiled chickpeas are eaten as a crunchy, satisfying snack.
- Chickpea Flour (Besan): Though usually made from split yellow gram, brown chickpeas can be ground into flour for savory pancakes or fritters.
- Rice Dishes: Brown chickpeas are used in mixed rice recipes, like chickpea biryani, for added flavor and protein.
