Cooked chana daal, a staple of South Asian cuisine, is made from split chickpeas that are hulled and boiled until tender. This hearty, nutty-flavored legume is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate, iron, and magnesium, making it a nutritious choice for meals. Low in fat but high in complex carbohydrates, it provides sustained energy and supports digestive health. Chana daal is naturally gluten-free and fits well into vegetarian, vegan, and heart-healthy diets. Often prepared with aromatic spices, garlic, and onion, it can be served as a side dish, soup, or main course. However, some recipes may include generous amounts of oil or ghee, which can add extra calories. Moderating added fats can help maintain its health benefits.
