Huskless Split Bengal Gram for Dal Fry, Vada and Sweet Fillings

Fudco Chana Dal - 1.5kg, labelled Chana Dall on the pack, is dried huskless split Bengal gram. These yellow split chickpeas are a cooking ingredient for savoury dals, ground lentil mixtures and traditional sweet fillings. They are different from whole chickpeas, roasted chana and gram flour: this pack contains uncooked split grains to soak, simmer or grind according to your recipe.

Why Choose Fudco Chana Dal?

Chana dal has a gently nutty flavour and a substantial texture that works well in dishes where you want the cooked grains to retain some shape. Simmer it until tender for dal fry, or cook it further and mash it for a smoother finish. The same ingredient can be soaked and ground for savoury fritters, or cooked and blended with jaggery for a sweet filling. The 1.5kg pack lets you measure out smaller quantities for individual recipes and keep the remainder sealed for another meal.

Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or your recipe for soaking, then drain and cook in fresh water until the grains are fully tender. Cooking time depends on the method and whether the dal has been soaked; add water as needed while simmering. For fritters, drain the soaked dal well before grinding so that you can control the mixture's texture. For a sweet filling, cook until soft, drain excess liquid and mash before combining with the other ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

• Prepare chana dal fry with tomato, turmeric and a cumin-and-garlic tempering, served with rice or chapati.
• Grind soaked dal with ginger, chilli and curry leaves for chana dal vada or masala vada.
• Cook until soft and combine with jaggery and cardamom for a puran poli filling.
• Simmer with bottle gourd or spinach for a vegetable-and-dal dish with a gently textured finish.
• Use in a mixed dal with other pulses, adjusting the preparation so that every variety is fully cooked.
