Pasan Kala chana are tinned black chickpeas, smaller and firmer than the pale variety, with a dense, nutty bite. They come ready-cooked in the tin, so there's no soaking or lengthy simmering needed before use. Kala chana are a familiar base for home-style curries, simmered with onions, tomatoes and everyday spices for a hearty chana masala. They also work well in chaat, tossed with chopped onion, tomato, coriander and a squeeze of lemon for a quick, tangy salad. Stir them into soups or stews for extra bulk and texture, or serve alongside rice and flatbreads as a simple main. Drain and rinse the chickpeas before cooking to remove the canning liquid. Once opened, tip any unused chana into a separate container, keep refrigerated and use within a couple of days. The tin itself needs no special storage before opening — keep it in the cupboard until needed. This tinned format makes kala chana a handy store-cupboard staple, ready whenever a recipe calls for cooked chickpeas without the wait.
