Description
Small dark brown coloured chana with a rough coat, cultivated mostly in India and other parts of the Indian sub-continent, as well as Ethiopia, Mexico and Iran. It is a smaller version of the regular pale yellow chickpea. Although it has a brown skin, it remains yellow underneath, and has a nutty flavour and starchy texture when cooked. It’s a very versatile legume, with an important role in many Middle Eastern and Indian dishes.
