Brown Chickpeas Udhaiyam 500g

Udhaiyam Brown Chickpeas 500g, commonly known as Kala Chana or Kadala, are a popular ingredient in traditional Indian cuisine. These dried brown chickpeas have a rich, earthy, slightly nutty flavour and a firm texture that becomes tender after proper soaking and cooking.

Brown chickpeas are widely used in Kerala and South Indian cooking, especially for preparing authentic Kerala-style kadala curry, a popular accompaniment to puttu and appam. They are also ideal for making chana masala, sundal, spicy chickpea curries, salads, and other homemade dishes.

Naturally a source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre, brown chickpeas are a nutritious addition to vegetarian and vegan meals. Their hearty texture and ability to absorb aromatic spices make them a versatile ingredient for everyday cooking.
