White Chickpeas (Kabuli chana)
White chickpeas, known in India as Kabuli chana, are the large, cream-coloured chickpea used whole for curries, hummus, salads and canning.
Brown Chickpeas (desi chana)
Brown chickpeas, called desi chana in India, are the small, wrinkled, light-brown chickpea with a thick skin, eaten whole or split to make chana dal.
Black Chickpeas (kala chana)
Black chickpeas, or kala chana, are a dark brown-black desi chickpea with a firm bite and nutty flavour, cooked whole for curries and festival dishes.
Red Football Lentils (whole masoor (dehulled))
Red football lentils are whole red lentils with the brown seed coat removed, leaving a round, orange-red grain named for its shape.
Red Split Lentils (masoor dal)
Red split lentils, known as masoor dal, are red lentils with the seed coat removed and the seed split, which makes them cook to a soft purée in about 15 minutes.
Whole Brown Lentils (sabut masoor)
Whole brown lentils, or sabut masoor, are red lentils left whole with their brown seed coat, which holds the lentil’s shape through slow cooking.
Split Green Mung Beans (moong chilka)
Split green mung beans, or moong chilka, are mung beans split in half with the green skin left on, giving a dal that is lighter than whole mung and keeps more fibre than yellow moong dal.

Whole green mung beans, or sabut moong, are the small, glossy green bean eaten whole in curries and sprouted for salads and bean sprouts.
Split Yellow Mung Beans (moong dal)
Split yellow mung beans, or moong dal, are mung beans with the green skin removed and the seed split, the quickest-cooking and most easily digested of the dals.
Split Black Gram (urad chilka)
Split black gram, or urad chilka, is black gram split in half with its black skin left on, cooked into a rich, creamy dal.
Whole Washed Black Gram (urad gota)

Split Washed Black Gram (urad dal (dhuli))
Split washed black gram, or dhuli urad dal, is black gram with the skin removed and the white seed split, used for dal, batters and tempering.
Whole Black Gram (sabut urad)
