Tata Sampann Chana Dal 1kg

Tata Sampann Chana Dal is made from split Bengal gram (kala chana dehusked), one of the most nutritionally rich lentils in the Indian diet. Chana dal has a wonderfully nutty, earthy flavour and firm texture that holds up well during cooking, making it ideal for slow-cooked dal preparations, dry curries, and dal pancakes. It is exceptionally high in dietary fibre — higher than most other lentils — with a low glycaemic index that makes it an excellent food for diabetics and those managing blood sugar. Chana dal is also one of the best plant sources of protein and provides substantial amounts of folate, iron, and phosphorus. Use it in chana dal tadka, Punjabi dal chawal, Bengal's cholar dal with coconut, and Maharashtra's usal. Soak for 30 minutes before pressure cooking for best texture. Tata Sampann's unpolished chana dal cooks to a slightly grainy, rustic consistency preferred in traditional recipes.
