Bob's Red Mill Chana Dal Beans, 24-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)

great food at great prices, we love bob's. i usually get the organic stuff so i ordered these by accident. but everything here is good.

I was eager to try the REAL Chana Dal. I'm glad I did. I've been experimenting with different recipes and I really love this bean. I haven't been able to find Chana Dal locally.

I ordered these beans after reading that they are very low impact on blood sugar. They are the high quality you would expect from Bob's Red Mill, well packed and shipped quickly.

I have made Dal with this twice, and I love it! The lentils don't dissolve into mush; they still have good texture, and it just makes a great soup.

Vegan. Natural. Excellent quality. Chana dal is one of my favorites from when I lived in India & Nepal. Dal is the primary protein source for vegetarians in South Asia and can also be a great part of any vegan diet. Here is "Greg's Flavorful Chana Dal" recipe: Pour safflower oil in bottom of crock pot or deep fryer (.25"/.5 cm) and heat; after hot add minced fresh ginger, minced fresh garlic, minced fresh onion, and minced fresh habenero or chilis (optional) to taste and cook/stir for 1-3 minutes; add 3 parts water for however much chana dal you intend to cook and boil; then add chana dal; cook and occasionally stir for about 1.5 hrs or until creamy consistency. If preparing small portion, then do first steps in small frypan and transfer to cooking pot so oil is not too much. This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference.
