Black chana or Bengal gram is a hardy, dark-coloured indigenous chickpea variety, grown in Gujarat’s relatively dry climate.
You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
With its deep nutty flavour, black chana makes for the ideal addition to your daily pantry.
Use it the way you would any whole chana, soaked and cooked into everyday dishes like curries, dals, or salads. It also works well boiled and tossed with spices as a simple snack, or added to chaats and stir-fries for texture and protein. Once cooked, it holds its shape well and can be used across a range of savoury dishes. Savour it in dishes like chickpea parathas, a black chickpea koshimbir, or Sundal—a stir-fried Tamil preparation.
With a focus on creating sustainable food systems, Aranya engages with local farmers in eastern Gujarat, helping them improve their farm yields by employing agro-ecological techniques like vermicomposting and multi-cropping, and making their produce available on their online shop.
