Anyone cooking a weeknight dal reaches for chana dal first. These are split, skinned chickpeas, small and golden, with a firm bite that holds its shape once cooked. The 2kg bag suits households that cook pulses regularly rather than the odd occasion. Chana dal is the base for classic dal recipes, simmered with turmeric, garlic and chilli until soft. It works equally well in a chana dal curry served with rice or roti, or added to vegetable stews for extra body. Many cooks also use it in snacks and fritters, where the split lentils bind well once soaked and blended. Before cooking, rinse the dal a few times until the water runs clear, then soak for a couple of hours to shorten the cooking time. It cooks down to a soft, slightly grainy texture, thicker than red lentils, so it holds up well in curries that need reheating the next day. Store the dal in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed container once opened. This keeps it free of moisture and pests, and ready whenever a dal or curry is on the menu.
