How to Use
Pre-preparation: It is essential to wash Desi Chana thoroughly before use. Soaking for at least 6-8 hours or overnight is highly recommended to significantly reduce cooking time and improve its nutritional benefits and digestibility.
For Curries (Kala Chana Masala): After soaking, pressure cook or boil until tender. Then, prepare a rich, spicy, and tangy curry base with onions, tomatoes, and spices, adding the cooked Desi Chana.
For Salads/Chaats: Cooked Desi Chana can be a nutritious addition to fresh salads with chopped vegetables, lemon juice, and spices for a protein-rich and wholesome meal. It's also excellent in various Indian chaat preparations.
For Sprouts: Soak for 8-12 hours, drain, and then allow to sprout in a damp cloth in a warm place. Sprouted Desi Chana can be used in salads, stir-fries, or consumed raw for maximum nutrient benefits.
For Roasted Snacks: After soaking and drying, they can be roasted or air-fried with spices for a crunchy, high-protein snack.
Shelf Life: Typically 6-12 months from the date of packaging when stored in ideal conditions. (Always refer to the "Best Before" date printed on your Basic Desi Chana packaging for the most accurate information.)
