Taste & Texture: Chana dal looks and tastes like small kernels of sweetcorn, which have a subtly sweet and nutty flavour.

Versatile Usage: Chana dal can be used in a plethora of ways! It can be roasted, soaked or boiled, added to vegetables or cooked as lentils. And did we mention that chana dal pilaf rice is an exotic dish that can be cooked only with this type of dal? So if you want to relish this authentic Indian recipe, chana dal has to be one the staples in your pantry! You have got a major sweet-tooth and need a guilt-free high-protein indulgence instead? Then use our chana dal to make sweet dishes like halwa confectionary. Or savoury easy snacks like cutlets, fritters, idlis and so much more!

Nourishing & Stimulating: Our chana dal chickpeas are easy to digest. Furthermore, they are a rich source of zinc, folate, protein and calcium. Since they have a low glycemic index, they are a delicious food option for diabetic patients as well. But the list goes on and on: chana dal is also high in fibres, but low in cholesterol, sodium and gluten-free – making it a fantastic alternative for celiac patients. Talk about good things coming in small packages!

Cooking Time: Depending on the quantity, their soaking time is one to four hours, whilst their cooking time in your instant pot is 15 minutes, and seven whistles in your pressure cooker.

Fun Fact: This crop is a farmer’s favourite as it restores soil fertility!

Storage: Like any dried bean, chana dal should be kept in an airtight, dry container in the pantry or another cool, dark spot.
