About Chana dal bhaji

Chana Dal Bhaji is a savory fritter dish popular in Indian cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Made from soaked and ground chana dal (split chickpeas), it typically includes spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, along with onions, green chilies, and fresh herbs such as cilantro. The mixture is shaped into small patties and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Chana dal is a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, making these fritters a satisfying and energizing option. However, the deep-frying process adds a significant amount of fat and calories, which may be less suitable for those monitoring their fat intake. For a lighter variation, they can be shallow-fried or cooked in an air fryer. Chana Dal Bhaji is a delightful fusion of flavor and texture, showcasing the vibrant and aromatic essence of Indian culinary traditions.
