About the product:

Brown Chickpeas or Kala Chana are a legume popular in Asian and American cooking. They have a nutty flavour. These pre-boiled TRS Brown Chickpeas are almost ready to use, requiring only a few minutes of cooking with the curry masala to absorb the flavour of the gravy. This ‘desi’ variety is smaller and darker than the ‘Kabuli chana’ variety but has more dietary fibre.

Usage:
– Brown Chickpeas can be cooked in an onion-tomato gravy.
– Kala chana is especially prepared as a dry dish during Navaratri and served with Halwa and puris.
– It can be added to chaats and other snacks after soaking and sprouting.

Recipe
1. Take 2 Kala Chana tins, remove the water, wash and set aside.
2. In a pan heat some oil, add black cardamom, a small piece of cinnamon stick, one bay leaf and chopped onions.
3. Once the onions are golden brown add crushed ginger-garlic and sauté for a minute.
4. Add tomatoes to this mix.
5. Add salt to taste and other spices like turmeric, chilli powder and cook for another minute.
6. Now add Kala Chana to this mix and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add water, cover the pan with a lid and let it boil.
7. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve it with roti, naan, or rice.

Storage: Store in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place.
