Chana Dal, also known as Bengal Gram Dal, is a split version of the desi chickpea (Cicer arietinum). It is a staple in Indian households, prized for its nutty flavor, versatility in cooking, and rich nutritional profile.

Chana Dal is integral to various Indian dishes:

• Used in traditional dal recipes, often tempered with spices for enhanced flavor.

• Roasted chana dal serves as a healthy snack option.

• Ground into flour (besan) for making sweets like laddoos and halwa.

• Incorporated into curries, stews, and even rice dishes for added texture and nutrition.
