Inside the Pack
This pack contains traditional, native-seed Kabuli Chana, grown naturally without pesticides or chemicals by our dedicated farmers in the Latur and Solapur regions of Maharashtra. Because it comes from an authentic native variety, the size and texture vary naturally — and the taste reflects the rich, wholesome flavor of traditionally grown chickpeas. It is clean, honest food, grown the way it has always been.
Know Your Farmer
In the heart of Latur, Namdev Sabde has spent over two decades nurturing the soil through natural farming. While the world moved toward chemical fertilizers and modified crops, Namdev chose to conserve the precious native desi seeds passed down by his ancestors. Today, his farm yields unpolished Moong Dal, Chana Dal, whole Chana, Kabuli Chana, Urad Dal, Jowar Maldandi, and Yellow Jowar — all kept entirely unpolished and free from chemical powders, retaining their natural integrity. Inspired by his father's vision, Namdev's son chose to stay rooted in the village, working side-by-side to keep ancient seeds alive and ensure what reaches your plate is clean and honest.
Deep within the Solapur region, Mohan Dongre leads a dedicated collective of farmers growing natural vegetables, fruits, and traditional pulses. With over 25 years of commitment to natural farming, Mohan's deep connection to the land is reflected in the quality of the Kabuli Chana, Jowar Maldandi, tamarind, and salted roasted Chana his group produces — known for their exceptional taste and distinct character.
Ingredients
Ways to Relish
-
The Rural Chula Style: Slow-cook the dal in an open clay pot or heavy brass vessel with just a touch of rock salt and green chilies. Cooking it slowly without a pressure cooker allows the natural starches to break down, mimicking the rich, smoky creaminess of a village chula dish.
-
The Roasted Sprout Boost: Lightly pan-roast the raw dal on an iron tawa before boiling. This brief dry-roasting unlocks a deeply aromatic, nutty undertone that pairs beautifully with local Maharashtrian spices.
-
The Granny’s Thickener: Coarsely mash a small ladle of the cooked dal against the side of your pot to thicken your heritage vegetable stews or rustic amti naturally, adding a velvet texture without altering the pure grain flavor.
-
Traditional Bhakri Companion: Prepare it as a thick, semi-dry sukhi dal heavily tempered with garlic, unrefined oil, and crushed cumin, specifically tailored to be scooped up with hot, handmade Jowar or Bajra bhakris.

Caring Guide
Since this pack is completely unpolished and 100% free from chemical preservatives, a little natural care keeps it perfectly fresh:
-
Keep It Sealed & Dry: Transfer grains into a clean, dry glass jar or airtight steel container. Moisture is the biggest enemy of chemical-free pulses.
-
The Quick Fridge Shield: Store the container inside your refrigerator to naturally prevent any pests from forming — the simplest, zero-effort method.
-
The Traditional Guard: If storing on a kitchen shelf, drop 2–3 dried whole red chilies or a few clean, dry neem leaves into the jar — ancient, natural repellents that protect the grains safely.
