The Chickpeas or Chick pea is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It is
also known as Gram, or Bengal Gram, Garbanzo or Garbanzo Bean, and sometimes known
as Egyptian Pea, Ceci, Cece or Chana, or Kabuli Chana (particularly in northern India). Its
seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes.
The plant grows to 20-50 cm (8-20 in) high and has small, feathery leaves on either side of the stem. Chickpeas are a type of pulse, with one seedpod containing two or three peas. It has white flowers with blue, violet, or pink veins.
The three main kinds of Chickpeas are: 'Desi' has small, darker seeds and a rough coat. It is grown mostly in India and other parts of the Indian subcontinent, as well as in Ethiopia, Mexico, and Iran. Desi means ' country' or 'local' in Hindustani; its other names include Bengal Gram or Kala Chana ("black chickpea" in both Hindi and Urdu) or Chhola Boot.
The 'Desi' type is used to make chana dal, which is a split chickpea with the skin removed. Bombay Chickpeas ('Bambai') are also dark but slightly larger than 'Desi'. They, too, are popular in the Indian subcontinent.
'Kabuli' is lighter-coloured, larger, and with a smoother coat, and is mainly grown in the Mediterranean, Southern Europe, Northern Africa, South America, and the Indian subcontinent. The name means "from Kabul" in Hindi and Urdu, and this variety was thought to come from Kabul, Afghanistan when it was introduced to India in the 18th century. It is called Kabuli Chana in Marathi and Safed Chana in India.
"Chana Dal" is also called harbara dal. Tender, immature harbara roasted on coal before the skin is removed is called hula in Marathi.
