Heera Kala Chana (Whole Black Gram) 1kg
Description
Fuel your family with the rustic, powerhouse nutrition of Heera Kala Chana (Whole Black Gram), a premium pack of high-quality, sun-dried chickpeas. A foundational ingredient in traditional Indian wellness, these dark, earthy beans are prized for their firm texture and a deep, nutty flavour that intensifies during cooking.
Culinary Versatility: This versatile legume is the star of the classic Kala Chana Masala or the cooling, protein-packed Chana Chaat with finely chopped onions and chaat masala. It is essential for traditional rituals like Ashtami Prasad (Sookha Kala Chana) and makes a hearty, nutritious base for a Black Chickpea Soup or a South Indian Kadala Curry to pair with Puttu or Appam.
Pro-Tip: For the "Best Texture and Digestion," soak the Kala Chana overnight for at least 8–12 hours. To get them buttery-soft while keeping the skins intact, pressure cook with a pinch of salt and a small piece of ginger. Don't discard the soaking water (if washed well) it is rich in nutrients and makes a flavourful, dark stock for your gravy.
Nutritional Benefits: Often called a "Superfood for Strength," Kala Chana is exceptionally High in Plant Protein and Iron, making it a vital meat-substitute for vegetarians. It is a powerhouse of Dietary Fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight. With a low glycaemic index, it provides sustained energy, making it an ideal choice for blood sugar management.
Storage & Care: Store in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dry place. To maintain their earthy freshness and prevent pests, ensure the container is tightly sealed. Placing a few bay leaves or cloves in the jar is a great traditional tip to keep this pack in peak condition for your daily healthy meals.
