Black chickpeas / Kale chane

Chana, or chickpeas, are found in three dried forms, the smaller dark skinned beans known as desi chana, the larger white-skinned beans known as Kabuli chana and the smaller green skinned ones known as hara chana.

Chana are commonly eaten in India as whole beans, as split lentils and a multitude of dishes are also made with chickpea flour (known as besan or gram flour).
