Black Chickpeas, Coconut and Green Chili
The inspiration for this dish is Kadala, a Kerala specialty made with black chickpeas cooked in a coconut sauce infused with black pepper and green chili. Known as kala chana, or black chickpeas, this variety has a rich, deep flavor.
What is Everyday Chana?
"Chana" is the Indian word for chickpea, the protein-rich bean that comes in tan and black varieties. We bring you our favorite chana curries, slow-simmered and seasoned with our carefully crafted spice blends. We could eat this Indian comfort food every single day, with flatbread, over rice, or all by itself.
