Chickpeas (kabuli chana)
काबुली चना
Dals & Pulses
The base of chole; also boiled for chaat and salads.
What to know
Needs an overnight soak. A pinch of baking soda in the soaking water softens them noticeably.
- Storing it
- Airtight; older chickpeas never soften properly, so buy in small quantities.
Measures
- 1 cup ≈ 165 g
Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
