Noun

kabuli (plural kabulis)

  1. A particular variety of cultivated chickpea.
    • 1984, M.C. Saxena, editor, Ascochyta Blight and Winter Sowing of Chickpeas:
      The availability of a large number of resistant lines in desi and kabuli background should help breeders develop resistant and high-yielding cultivars. It was earlier believed that kabulis lack resistant genes to ascochyta blight but screening a large collection revealed many lines having a high level of resistance.
    • 2018, Rajeev K. Varshney, The Chickpea Genome, page 108:
      Two distinct chickpea types, different in their morphology and used in different ways of processing have been described: desi and kabuli.
