Bengal Dal (chana dal)

Description

Bengal Gram (Chana Dal) – A protein-rich, versatile legume celebrated for its robust flavor and nourishing benefits! Made from split and skinned black chickpeas (kala chana), this golden-yellow dal is packed with plant-based protein, fiber, iron, folate, and manganese—supporting muscle health, digestion, and energy. Its slightly sweet, nutty taste and firm texture make it perfect for hearty dals, South Indian sambhar, Bengali cholar dal, crispy fritters (pakoras), and even gluten-free baking. A staple in Ayurveda and Indian kitchens, chana dal cooks faster than whole chickpeas (no soaking needed!) while retaining a satisfying bite. Rich in antioxidants and low-glycemic, it’s ideal for diabetics, vegans, and fitness enthusiasts. Store in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
