What Is Whole Kala Chana?

Kala chana is a small, dark variety of chickpea also called black or desi chickpea. It is sold whole and dried, so it normally needs sorting, rinsing and soaking before thorough cooking.

Compared with split chana dal, the whole chickpea keeps its outer seed coat and retains a more distinct shape and firmer texture in curries, salads and dry dishes.
