There are two main kinds of chick peas : Desi and kabuli.
Desi , which has small darker seeds and a rough coat. Kabuli , which has lighter coloured, larger seeds and smoother coat.
The Desi is also known as Bengal gram or kala chana. Desi chick peas have a markedly higher fibre content than kabuli chana and hence a very low glycemic index which may make them suitable for people with blood sugar problems. The desi type is used to make chana dal, which is a split chickpea with the skin removed.
