FAQ
- What is the difference between Kala Chana and Kabuli Chana? Kala Chana are smaller, darker, and nuttier with a firmer bite; Kabuli are larger and cream-colored.
- Do I need to soak Kala Chana? Soaking 6–8 hours helps even cooking and reduces time; use a quick-soak (boil 5 minutes, rest 1 hour) if short on time.
- How do I cook without a pressure cooker? Simmer in fresh water 60–90 minutes until tender, then season.
- Is it gluten-free and vegan? Chickpeas are naturally gluten-free and plant-based; always check pack for cross-contact information.
