About this Item

• CHANA DAL: SPLIT YELLOW CHICKPEAS: Pride Of India Chana Dal is a single-ingredient dried pulse made from split yellow chickpeas, also known as Split Bengal Gram. Grown and sourced from India, it has a distinctive split form widely used in Indian cooking. Keep it in your pantry for traditional dal, Kitchari, curries, soups and other savory dishes that call for the hearty texture and characteristic flavor of Chana Dal.
• 9 G PROTEIN & 7.5 G FIBER PER SERVING: Each labeled 1.5 oz (42.5 g) serving provides 9 g of protein and 7.5 g of dietary fiber. The 1.5 lb jar contains approximately 16 servings, giving you a versatile plant-based ingredient for dal, soups, curries, rice meals and other everyday dishes while providing clear, measurable nutrition in every serving.
• FOR DAL, CURRY, SOUP, & KITCHARI : Bring variety to everyday cooking with Chana Dal that works beautifully in classic dal, comforting Kitchari, vegetable curries, hearty soups, savory rice meals and homemade hummus. Its mild, earthy and slightly nutty flavor pairs naturally with vegetables, rice, herbs and warm spices, making it equally useful for traditional Indian cooking and familiar everyday meals.
• EASY PREPARATION WITH A 3:1 WATER RATIO: Rinse the Chana Dal thoroughly before cooking. Start with approximately 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of dry Chana Dal, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until tender, generally about 30 to 40 minutes. A 20 to 30 minute soak is optional and can help shorten cooking time. Add more water for soups or cook a little longer when you prefer a softer, creamier dal.
• STOVETOP, MICROWAVE OR INSTANT POT: Choose the cooking method that suits your kitchen. Prepare Chana Dal traditionally on the stovetop, cook it in a large microwave-safe bowl with enough room for bubbling, or use an Instant Pot for convenient hands-off preparation. For an Instant Pot, start with 1 cup rinsed Chana Dal and about 2.5 cups water, pressure cook on High for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, then allow about 10 minutes of natural pressure release before checking tenderness.
• MAKE CREAMY HOMEMADE HUMMUS: Turn Chana Dal into a smooth, flavorful homemade dip by cooking the split chickpeas until very tender. Drain and cool slightly, then blend with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin and salt. Add a little water or reserved cooking liquid while blending until the hummus reaches your preferred consistency, then finish with olive oil, herbs or your favorite seasonings for dipping, spreading or serving on a snack board.
• MILD, EARTHY & SLIGHTLY NUTTY FLAVOR: Chana Dal has a mild, earthy and gently nutty character that readily absorbs spices, aromatics and sauces. Cook it until tender while retaining some shape for curries and rice dishes, or continue cooking for a softer texture suited to creamy dal, soups and blended preparations. Its versatile flavor makes it easy to pair with everything from warming Indian spices to fresh herbs and vegetables.
• 1.5 LB REUSABLE PANTRY JAR: The 24 oz Chana Dal comes in one reusable, resealable food-grade PET jar with a screw-top lid and inner freshness seal. The clear jar keeps the split yellow chickpeas visible, organized and easy to measure for cooking. BPA-free packaging makes it convenient for regular pantry use. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture.
• 16 SERVINGS OF A SIMPLE PANTRY STAPLE: Each 1.5 lb jar provides approximately 16 labeled servings of washed-clean Chana Dal made with a single ingredient: chickpeas. It is 100% Natural, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-Bioengineered, Non-Irradiated, Preservative-Free and Additive-Free, giving you a straightforward dried pantry ingredient for everyday cooking, meal preparation and traditional Indian recipes.
• PAIR WITH PRIDE OF INDIA PANTRY FAVORITES Create complete meals by pairing Pride Of India Chana Dal with other Pride Of India pantry staples. Serve a warmly seasoned dal alongside Pride Of India Basmati Rice, combine Chana Dal and rice for comforting Kitchari, or season curries and soups with complementary Pride Of India cumin, turmeric, coriander, black pepper or garam masala.
