chana dal

Common forms include split chickpeas (chana dal), whole garbanzo/kabuli chickpeas, and desi/kala chickpeas sold with their skins.

Listings commonly state they do not contain the nine major allergens; many items are labeled vegan, gluten-friendly, non-GMO, sodium-free, and indicate no MSG or fillers.

Instructions typically say to tear to vent and microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute (or until hot), or empty into a skillet and heat over medium, stirring frequently until hot.

Most listings indicate the products originate from India.

Listings note that chana dal, when ground, becomes besan (gram flour), which is commonly used in batters and sweets.
