Chana dal (split chickpeas) is rich in fiber and protein and also a good option for people who are on a low carb or diabetic, as it is diabetic friendly diet. This is also known as Bengal gram. It has a sweet and nutty taste. This lentil also powdered into gram flour or baisan. Chana dal is favorite at my home. It goes well with rice, roti and naan. The recipe I am sharing is very easy, delicious and quick to prepare. I hope you will enjoy it.

  1. In a bowl take dal channa and wash it. Then add baking soda in it and add enough water in which dal can be soaked well. Let dal soak for 3-4 hours.

  3. Now put dal in the pressure cooker and add about 1.5 cups of water to cook it very well. We need dal as much tender that it could be easily mashed with hand.

I experienced that cooking doesn't need to be threatening. I didn't figure out how to cook as a child. No treats or cakes with Grandma. Never helping mother cook meals. I needed to learn as a grown-up, due to legitimate need. I needed to figure out how to cook. So I just began cooking. It was unpleasant from the outset. I attempted to sear garlic, and everything turned green. It was one Pinterest fall flat after the other until I at least began to get its hang. For some time, I; despised cooking feared it with each fiber of my being. And one day; I, began anticipating it. I would be at my work area and begin pondering what I could make for supper. I began to get amped up for evaluating new plans, concocting something all alone, or utilizing new fixings. It got fun. Also, that is something I need to impart to you. Cooking is fun and energizing, and regardless of whether you think you will suck at it, recall, even I can cook.
