Chana Dal Unpolished 1KG

Unpolished chana dal. Hearty, nutty and full of natural flavour.

Our Chana Dal (split Bengal gram) is left unpolished, with no oil or powder coating, so it keeps its natural matte look and earthy, nutty taste. It holds its shape well when cooked, which makes it great for everything from comforting dal to crunchy snacks. Carefully selected for quality and freshness.

How to use it

• Prep: Rinse 2–3 times until the water runs clear, then soak for 1–2 hours.
• Cook: Pressure cook with 3 cups of water per cup of dal for 3–4 whistles, or simmer for 40–50 minutes until soft.
• Classic dishes: Chana dal tadka, dal with lauki, Bengali cholar dal, and chana dal fry.
• Snacks and sweets: Use in vada, dal pakwan and chana dal halwa, or add a spoonful to tempering for crunch.

Allergen and safety guidance

Chana dal comes from chickpeas, a legume. Avoid it if you are allergic to chickpeas or other legumes. Some people with a peanut allergy also react to chickpeas, so check with your doctor if you're unsure. Always cook dal thoroughly before eating.

Storage
