Product Details
Black Chickpeas (Kala Chana) are firm, earthy pulses suited to Pakistani curries, chana chaat, salads and roasted snacks. Arabian Farms selects, sorts and grades the chickpeas before hygienic packing so you receive a practical everyday pantry staple without exaggerated health promises.
Why choose Arabian Farms Kala Chana?
- Non-hybrid black chickpeas selected for everyday cooking
- Carefully sorted and graded to remove unsuitable pieces
- No added colours, flavours or preservatives
- Firm texture that holds its shape in curries and chaat

How to prepare black chickpeas
- Inspect and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly.
- Soak in plenty of water for 8–12 hours or overnight.
- Discard the soaking water, add fresh water and cook until tender.
- Add salt and acidic ingredients such as tomato or lemon according to your recipe.
Cooking time varies with soaking, water quality, cooker type and the age of the pulse. A pressure cooker is usually faster than an open pot.

Nutrition in context
Black chickpeas naturally provide plant protein, dietary fibre and carbohydrates. Their value depends on serving size and the complete meal; they should not be treated as a cure or substitute for medical nutrition advice.
Storage
Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop and check the pack before cooking.
Frequently asked questions
Do kala chana need soaking?
Overnight soaking usually shortens cooking time and promotes more even tenderness.
Can I cook them without a pressure cooker?
Yes. Simmer in an open pot with sufficient water, allowing additional cooking time.
Are black chickpeas and Kabuli chana the same?
No. Kala chana are smaller, darker and firmer; Kabuli chana are larger, paler and creamier.
