Schani’s Chana Dal is characterized by its distinct, nutty flavor and aromatic profile. These baby chickpeas have been expertly split and polished, featuring a firm texture similar to small kernels of sweetcorn and a subtly sweet taste. A versatile pantry staple, Chana Dal is essential for authentic Indian recipes such as dal stews, pilaf rice, and savory snacks like fritters, idlis, and cutlets. It can also be used in traditional confectionery like halwa. To prepare, soak for one to four hours before boiling or pressure cooking. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly ingredient should be stored in an airtight, dry container in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality.
