A Traditional Whole Grain Flour with Rich Texture

Whole Chana Flour, commonly known as Kala Chana Atta, is distinct from regular Besan. While Besan is made from skinned split chickpeas (Chana Dal), this flour is stone-ground from the Whole Bengal Gram (Black Chickpea) including the nutrient-rich brown/black skin.

This inclusion of the husk gives the flour a brownish-tan color and a coarser texture compared to the fine yellow Besan. It has a robust, earthy flavor and is valued in traditional culinary practices. It is naturally high in fiber due to the inclusion of the outer husk, making it a wholesome alternative to refined flours.

Key Features

• Appearance: Distinctly Brownish/Grey in color, unlike the bright yellow of Besan.

• High-Fiber Traditional Flour: Naturally high in fiber due to the inclusion of the outer husk, traditionally valued in balanced diets.

• Protein & Iron: Contains iron as part of its natural nutritional profile.

Cooking Tip for Whole Chana Flour

Hydration is Key:

• Thirsty Flour: Because of the high fiber content from the skin, this flour absorbs more water than regular Besan.

• Resting: When making dough, add extra water and let it rest for 20 minutes. This allows the coarse fiber to soften, ensuring your rotis are soft rather than dry and brittle.

Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool, dry place
