This 500g bag of Indus Chana Dal fits neatly into a kitchen cupboard and gives a household several dal-based meals across the week. It is a pantry staple that keeps well between cooking sessions. Chana dal is split chickpeas, pale yellow in colour, with a firm texture that softens on cooking. It is a familiar base for home-style dal, dropped into simmering pots with onions, garlic and spices until tender. Cooks use it in dal fry, chana dal curry, and as a thickener stirred through vegetable stews. It also works well in soups, adding body and a mild, nutty flavour once cooked through. Before cooking, rinse the dal under cold water to remove any dust from the packet. Many cooks soak it for a short while beforehand, which shortens the cooking time and gives a more even, tender result. Simmer gently until soft, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the base of the pan. Once opened, keep the remaining dal in an airtight container, stored somewhere cool and dry away from direct sunlight. This keeps it in good condition for the next batch of cooking. The resealable pack makes it easy to measure out just what is needed for a single meal, leaving the rest ready for next time.
