Desi Chana (Brown Chickpeas / Kala Chana)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your supplier of the nutritional powerhouse-Desi Chana (Brown Chickpeas). Unlike its larger white cousin (Kabuli), the Desi Chana is smaller, has a thick brown coat, and packs a much denser flavor and fiber profile. It is the preferred variety for authentic Indian curries and healthy sprouted salads.

We source our Desi Chana from the fertile black soils of Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Rajasthan. These regions are famous for producing the "Kantola" and "Desi" varieties that are naturally sweet and cook down to a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. We ensure our stock is Fresh Crop, guaranteeing a high germination rate for buyers who intend to sell it for sprouting purposes.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Desi Chana?

High Sprouting Rate (Germination)

The Test: Many health-conscious consumers buy Desi Chana to sprout it at home. Old or heat-damaged seeds do not sprout; they just rot.

Our Guarantee: We supply fresh crop material with high viability. When soaked, our chana bursts into healthy sprouts within 24-36 hours, making it ideal for the health food market.

Soft Cooking Quality

Texture: A common complaint with low-quality Kala Chana is that it remains "stone hard" even after 10 whistles in a pressure cooker. Our MP Origin stock is famous for its excellent water absorption, ensuring it cooks thoroughly and becomes soft.

Applications & Uses

Curries: The base for the famous Indian dish Kala Chana Masala eaten with rice or roti.

Sprouts: Soaked and germinated for high-protein breakfast salads.

Snacks: Roasted to make "Bhuna Chana" (Roasted Gram), a popular healthy snack.

Flour: Ground to make Besan (Gram Flour), though Chana Dal is usually preferred for this.

Logistics & Packaging

Bulk Handling: Desi Chana is a high-volume commodity. We optimize our 20ft containers to load up to 24-25 Metric Tons, giving you the best freight-per-kg rate.

Pest Control: Fumigation is strictly performed to prevent weevil infestation during transit.
