Chana dhal, a staple in South Asian cuisine, is a split and polished version of chickpeas (Bengal gram) commonly used in Indian cooking. This nutrient-dense legume boasts a rich, nutty flavor and an appealing golden color. High in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like B-complex, chana dhal is an excellent vegetarian source of nutrition. It is low in fat and has a low glycemic index, making it beneficial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and supporting heart health. With iron and magnesium, it contributes to energy production and muscle function. Often simmered into flavorful curries or added to soups, chana dhal is a versatile and satisfying ingredient. However, depending on preparation, added oils or rich spices can impact the overall calorie count and fat content, so moderation is key to maximizing its health benefits.
