Unlock the potential of plant-based cooking with Kabuli Chana Small 1kg, exclusively available at Al Modina Halal Food. Also known as White Chickpeas or Garbanzo Beans, "Kabuli Chana" is a staple ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. While the large (Jumbo/Dollar) variety is popular for its size, the Small Kabuli Chana is cherished by chefs and home cooks alike for its superior ability to hold its shape, its slightly nuttier flavor profile, and its dense, creamy texture when cooked.
At Al Modina Halal Food, we understand that the quality of your raw ingredients defines the final taste of your dish. Our chickpeas are carefully selected, cleaned, and packed to ensure they are free from stones and impurities, giving you a premium product that is ready to soak and cook.
You might wonder, why choose the small variety over the jumbo ones? Here is why the small grain shines:
The smaller variety has a tighter skin and denser flesh. This means that even after long simmering in a pressure cooker or slow pot, the chickpeas remain intact rather than turning into mush. This makes them ideal for salads, chaats, and curries where you want distinct bites of beans.
Many culinary experts argue that smaller chickpeas have a more concentrated, earthy, and nutty flavor compared to their larger, starchier counterparts. They absorb spices beautifully, making them perfect for rich, heavy gravies like Chole Masala.
When mashed, they yield a texture that is creamy but not watery—perfect for making authentic, thick Hummus or binding together Falafel mix.
A 1kg bag of White Chickpeas opens the door to endless recipes.
The most iconic use of Kabuli Chana.
The Method: Soak the chickpeas overnight with a tea bag (for dark color). Pressure cook until tender. Simmer in a spicy tomato-onion gravy seasoned with Chole Masala, dried mango powder (amchoor), and ginger.
Serve: Pair with fluffy Bhaturas or Jeera Rice for the ultimate North Indian feast.
Skip the store-bought tubs and make it fresh.
The Blend: Blend boiled Kabuli Chana with Tahini (sesame paste), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and ice water.
The Result: A silky smooth dip that is healthy, preservative-free, and delicious with pita bread or carrot sticks.
The Soak: For Falafel, you do not boil the chickpeas. Simply soak raw chickpeas overnight, then grind them coarsely with parsley, coriander, onions, and spices. Fry into golden balls of goodness.
Quick Meal: Toss boiled chickpeas with chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, and chaat masala. It’s a high-protein, oil-free salad that keeps you full for hours.
Kabuli Chana is often referred to as a superfood because of its impressive nutrient profile.
High Plant-Based Protein: Essential for vegetarians and vegans looking to build muscle and repair tissue.
Rich in Fiber: High fiber content aids digestion, prevents constipation, and helps lower bad cholesterol levels.
Blood Sugar Control: Chickpeas have a low Glycemic Index (GI). The fiber and protein slow down carbohydrate absorption, preventing spikes in blood sugar, making them great for diabetics.
Minerals: Loaded with Manganese, Folate, Iron, and Phosphorus.
To get the best out of your Chana Small 1kg:
The Soak is Key: Dried chickpeas must be soaked in plenty of water for at least 8 hours or overnight. They will double or triple in size.
Pressure Cooking: After soaking, drain the water. Cook in fresh water with a pinch of salt. In a pressure cooker, it typically takes 15-20 minutes (or 4-5 whistles) to become tender.
Baking Soda Hack: If making Hummus, add a pinch of baking soda to the soaking water. This softens the skin and results in a smoother dip.
Storage: Store the dry chickpeas in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They have a long shelf life. Cooked chickpeas can be frozen for up to 3 months for meal prep.
