About Daal channa

Daal Channa, a staple of South Asian cuisine, is a flavorful dish made from split chickpeas simmered with spices, onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Often enjoyed as part of a vegetarian meal, it pairs well with rice or flatbreads like naan or roti. This hearty dish is rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, folate, and manganese, making it an excellent option for balanced nutrition. The slow-cooked preparation allows the spices—including turmeric, cumin, and coriander—to infuse the daal with rich and aromatic flavors, while offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While Daal Channa is generally healthy, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation; added ghee or oil can increase calorie content. A lighter version may be made by limiting fats. With its comforting taste and nutritious benefits, Daal Channa is cherished across the subcontinent and can be customized for diverse dietary preferences.
