Small brown desi chickpea for chana masala and sundal.
Where we buy it
Bikaner, Rajasthan
Bikaner is the largest market for moth bean (matki) and a major market for kala chana and guar in the Thar region.
The arid districts of western Rajasthan, where moth and moong are grown on monsoon rain.
We buy chana black directly at Bikaner during peak arrivals, before the lots move to Ahmedabad for processing and packing. Buying at the source market means the widest choice of lots and no trader margin between the farmer and our customer, which is how we hold both quality and price.
