Haath Chakki – 100% Kala Chana Atta (Black Chickpea Flour)

Haath Chakki 100% Kala Chana Atta is prepared by slow-grinding whole black chickpeas using a traditional natural stone chakki. This cold-pressed, low-heat grinding method preserves the full protein content, soluble fibre, iron, and essential micronutrients that make kala chana one of India's most nutritionally complete legumes — delivering a dense, earthy flour with a naturally rich, nutty character.

Known in Ayurveda as Chanaka and fondly called the "almonds of the poor" for their extraordinary nutritional density, black chickpeas have been a cornerstone of Indian kitchens for centuries. Free from wheat, naturally gluten-free, and made from a single ingredient with no additives or preservatives — this is honest, purposeful flour for mindful eating.

Key Features

  • Made from 100% whole black chickpeas (Kala Chana)
  • Traditionally stone-ground using slow Haath Chakki
  • Cold-pressed process retains full protein, fibre, and micronutrients
  • Rich, nutty flavour with a dense, hearty texture
  • Naturally gluten-free
  • No additives, no preservatives, no blending

Health Benefits

  • Exceptionally high in plant-based protein — approximately 20 g per 100 g — supporting muscle growth, repair, and sustained energy
  • Rich in soluble and insoluble dietary fibre that aids digestion, promotes regular bowel movements, and supports a healthy gut microbiome
  • Low glycemic index food (GI ~28) that releases energy slowly, preventing blood sugar spikes — highly beneficial for diabetics and pre-diabetics
  • Reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol through its soluble fibre content, supporting cardiovascular health
  • Contains magnesium and potassium that help regulate blood pressure and protect heart function
  • Rich source of iron, supporting healthy haemoglobin levels and helping prevent iron-deficiency anaemia
  • High in choline and magnesium, supporting healthy nerve function and cognitive health
  • Contains butyrate-producing fibre that reduces inflammation in colon cells and may lower the risk of colon cancer
  • Rich in zinc and Vitamin B6 that strengthen hair follicles, promote healthy hair growth, and help prevent premature greying
  • Packed with antioxidants and saponins — plant compounds with anti-inflammatory and cell-protective properties
  • Revered in Ayurveda for its ability to manage cholesterol, support liver health, and address skin disorders

Culinary Uses

  • Ideal for high-protein rotis and chapatis — use alone or blend with wheat flour for everyday cooking
  • Perfect for traditional missi roti when combined with wheat atta and spices
  • Excellent for cheelas (savoury pancakes) — a protein-rich breakfast or snack
  • Works beautifully for pakoras, bhajias, and fritters — gives a crisper, heartier coating than regular besan
  • Use for chilla, dhokla-style preparations, and savoury crepes
  • Suitable for energy laddoos and high-protein snack bars
  • Can be used as a natural thickener in soups, dals, and gravies
  • Works well in baked goods like muffins, cookies, and dense breads, adding a nutty depth and protein boost
Texture & Taste Coarser and more robust than regular besan, Kala Chana Atta has a warm, earthy nuttiness with a pleasantly dense texture. It produces heartier, more filling rotis than white chickpea flour — making it ideal for those seeking a high-protein, deeply satisfying flour for everyday meals.
Usage Tip Kala Chana Atta can be used on its own or blended with wheat or multigrain atta in a 30:70 to 50:50 ratio for soft, protein-rich rotis. When used for cheelas, mix with water, salt, and spices to a medium batter consistency. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
