Uses of split bengal gram

Split Bengal gram offers a multitude of culinary possibilities, whether in savory dishes, snacks, or even desserts. Its versatility and nutritional benefits make it a popular choice in traditional and modern cooking alike.

Chana dal is a popular choice for making flavorful lentil soups and dals. Boil the lentils until they become soft, and then temper them with spices, such as cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, and garlic, to create a delicious and comforting dal.

Chana dal can be used in curries and gravies as a nutritious and textural component. It pairs well with vegetables, especially in dishes like bottle gourd and lentil curry or spinach and lentil curry.

Chana dal can be ground into a coarse paste and combined with spices and vegetables to make savory fritters. These crispy and flavorful snacks are perfect for tea-time or as appetizers.

Soaked or boiled chana dal can be added to salads to provide a protein boost. Mix it with fresh vegetables, herbs, and a tangy dressing for a nutritious and refreshing salad.

Roasted chana dal makes for a popular and healthy snack option. It can be seasoned with spices and eaten on its own or combined with other nuts and seeds to make a crunchy protein mix.

Chana dal can be roasted and ground into a powder, which can then be used as an ingredient in making chutneys and dips, adding a unique nutty flavor.

Chana dal is also used in some Indian sweet dishes. It can be ground into a fine paste and used to make sweets like Chana Dal Halwa, a rich and decadent dessert.
