Chana Daal 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Perfect for Traditional Indian Dal

Chana Daal is widely used to prepare comforting dal and dhal dishes, where the lentils are gently cooked until tender and flavoured with aromatic spices.

Pair it with ingredients such as cumin, turmeric, coriander, chilli, garlic, ginger and garam masala for a deeply flavoured Indian-style meal.

Ideal for Curries, Soups & Stews

Its firm texture makes Chana Daal excellent for vegetable curries, soups and hearty stews, as it softens during cooking while still retaining more texture than many smaller lentils.

Serve with rice, roti, naan or other flatbreads for an easy and satisfying meal.

A Versatile Pantry Staple

Chana Daal can also be used in savoury pancakes, fritters, snacks and traditional Indian recipes.

Cooked dal can be combined with vegetables and spices or blended to create thicker soups, fillings and savoury dishes.

How to Prepare Chana Daal

Rinse thoroughly under cold water before cooking.

For a shorter cooking time and softer result, the dal can be soaked before cooking. Simmer in fresh water until tender, then season or add to your chosen recipe.
