Sethum Konde Gram 500g

Type: Premium quality, whole dried Chickpeas (Konde Kadala / Brown Chickpeas).

Texture & Flavor: Firm, dense, and slightly nutty with a rich, earthy flavor. When boiled, they develop a wonderfully tender, creamy interior while maintaining a satisfyingly robust skin texture.

Role: A nutritional powerhouse and an absolute staple in local kitchens, widely celebrated as a clean, high-protein, and fiber-rich fuel for breakfast or evening tea.

Best Used For:

• Classic Themparadu Kadala (Tempered Chickpeas): Soak the grams overnight, boil with a pinch of salt until tender, and then temper them in a pan with mustard seeds, sliced red onions, green chillies, curry leaves, and a generous handful of fresh grated coconut.

• Hearty Kadala Curry: Simmer the boiled chickpeas in a thick, deeply roasted Sri Lankan chili and coconut milk gravy. This makes the ultimate, rich accompaniment for hot string hoppers, pittu, or roast paan.

• Healthy Salads & Chana Masala: Toss boiled chickpeas with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lime juice, and chaat masala for a refreshing, protein-packed snack.
