Fwd: Black Chana

[Guest guest]

Gordon,

 

I too tried to find Black Chanas and finally found an on-line source. I

asked for two bags of Black Chanas and they sent Kala Chana. I am under the

impression that this is not black chanas, but rather Chanas that have been

roasted to a dusty brown color. Is this correct? Now I have 4 pounds of

Kala Chana that I am probably not going to use because I don't have any

recipies for them. I guess what I am saying is that I asked for "Black

Chanas" and they still got it wrong.

 

If anyone finds a reliable source for Black Chanas in the Atlanta, GA area,

will you contact me off the list?

 

Thanks,

Sat Nam,

Mary P.

Kala means black. Kala Chana and Black Chana are the same. They are not roasted

but are reddish brown naturally.

Atlanta???? Who do you know down there?
