About
Chana Dal is a veg Ghar ka Khaana dish. It is not fried, and is prepared by simmering skinned split chickpeas until soft, then cooking them with a flavorful blend of onions, tomatoes, and mild spices. This dal is known for its nutty taste, rich texture, and high protein content, making it both wholesome and satisfying. A gentle tempering of cumin, garlic, and aromatic spices enhances the flavor without making it too spicy. Chana dal pairs beautifully with steamed rice, roti, or jeera rice and is a staple in many Indian households due to its simplicity and nutrition.
