Chana Dal, also known as Split Bengal Gram, is prepared from mature chickpeas by removing the outer skin and splitting the kernels into smaller, rounded halves. It has a naturally nutty flavour, firm texture and excellent versatility in cooking. Chana Dal is widely used in Indian cuisine and is also suitable for food-service, food-processing and international bulk markets.
Chana Dal is produced from carefully selected Bengal gram (desi chickpeas). The grains are cleaned, dehulled and split to obtain the characteristic yellow-coloured dal. Properly processed Chana Dal has a uniform appearance, consistent size and good cooking performance. It is a staple ingredient in many South Asian cuisines and is particularly valued for its distinctive flavour and texture. It can be cooked as a traditional dal, incorporated into curries and vegetable preparations, or processed into flour and snack products. For international trade, Chana Dal can be supplied in different quality specifications depending on the requirements of importers, wholesalers, distributors and food manufacturers. Cleaning, grading and sorting can be carried out to achieve the desired export quality and consistency.
Chana Dal is used across household, commercial and food-processing applications, including:
Traditional dal and curry preparations
Dal-based soups and stews
Chana dal fry and other Indian dishes
Snacks and savoury preparations
Chana dal-based fillings
Sprouted and processed food products
Grinding into Besan (gram flour)
Food-service and catering applications
Ready-to-cook and packaged food products
Pulse-based food manufacturing
Its firm texture and mildly nutty taste make it particularly suitable for dishes where the dal needs to retain some structure after cooking.
