Featured Variety
Chana Dal is made from split desi chickpeas and is one of the most popular pulses in Indian cuisine. It has a nutty flavor, firm texture, and is rich in protein and fiber. It is widely used in curries, snacks, and sweets.
Chana (chickpeas) grows well in cool, dry climates with well-drained loamy soil. It is a drought-tolerant crop that requires minimal irrigation. Proper pest management and crop rotation help ensure good yields.
Harvested when pods turn yellow and dry. Chana Dal is used in a variety of dishes including chana dal curry, vrat (fasting) preparations, halwa, and snacks like chana dal namkeen. It can also be ground into besan (chickpea flour).
Store chana dal in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests. Properly dried dal can be stored for several months while retaining its flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
