Deep Kala Chana

Kala chana, also known as black chickpeas or Bengal gram, is a type of legume widely used in Indian cuisine and other regional cuisines around the world. Kala chana has a distinct dark brown or black color, which sets it apart from the more commonly known cream-colored chickpeas.

These legumes are rich in nutrients and are a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Kala chana has a nutty and slightly earthy flavor, along with a firm and dense texture. When cooked, they retain their shape and have a slightly firm bite.

Kala chana can be used in a variety of dishes. They are often boiled or pressure-cooked until tender and used as an ingredient in curries, stews, salads, and chaats (Indian street snacks). They are also commonly sprouted and used in dishes like salads and stir-fries.
