About White Channa Motta 250g

White channa motta refers to the bigger, plumper kind of white chickpea. In this 250g pack the grains are beige and rounded, with a fuller bite than the bareek type once they are boiled.

The larger grains also hold up well in slow-cooked dishes, where smaller chickpeas can break down.

Good For

• Thick channa curry or chole served with naan, kulcha or puri.
• Chickpea pulao and biryani-style rice dishes.
• Boiled chickpeas for chaat on Iftar tables.

Preparation

Large chickpeas need more time than small ones. Soak them overnight in water, drain, and pressure-cook or boil until the centre is soft. A pinch of baking soda is sometimes added by home cooks to speed up softening, but it is optional.

Storage

Keep the pulses in a dry jar away from moisture and sunlight. Wash them just before cooking.
