Chana Dal (Split Bengal Gram) - Guthni - 1 kg

Chana dal is split Bengal gram: small brown chickpeas (kala chana) that have been skinned and split into yellow halves. It has a distinct nutty flavour and turns creamy when cooked while still holding its shape, which makes it one of the most used dals in Indian kitchens. Cook it as plain chana dal tadka with ghee, jeera and red chilli, or with lauki, palak or coconut. It is soaked and ground for chana dal vada and pakoda batter, used in South Indian tadkas and chutneys, and cooked with jaggery for puran poli and other sweets. Rinse the dal well before use; soaking it for 30 minutes to an hour shortens the cooking time. GUTHNI Brand Chana Dal is packed by Guthni Farmer Producer Company Limited. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Available in a 1 kg pack.
