Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are available in two main varieties: Desi and Kabuli. They can be classified based on factors such as shape, thickness, and size. Moreover, chickpeas also vary in terms of thickness and colour, ranging from light tan to dark black. Kabuli chickpeas, on the other hand, are characterized by their cream or white colour.
It serves as a key ingredient in popular dishes such as hummus. Additionally, when soaked, coarsely ground, and combined with herbs and spices, chickpeas are used to create delicious falafel patties that are fried to perfection.
