Moong Dal Chilka for Soups, Curries, Side Dishes

Chana dal is a type of lentil that is commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is made by splitting and removing the outer layer of a larger black chickpea, revealing a smaller, cream-colored lentil. Chana dal has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture that holds its shape well when cooked. It is often used in soups, curries, and side dishes and is a good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients.
