Chana Daal

Chana Daal looks like a larger version of Toor/ Tuvar or Arhar Daal. It is made by splitting a smaller cousin of the chickpea! Chana Daal has a nutty flavor and is used in dry curries or with vegetables or meats and also as a flour (Bengal gram flour). It cooks fairly quickly and does not need soaking prior to being cooked.
