Chana Daal Fry Recipe, How to Make Chana Daal

March 31, 2012 by anjanaskc 13 Comments

Chana dal fry -Split bengal gram cooked in  tomato sauce and Indian spices.

Chana daal is a very healthy and delicious lentil preparation. It is quite easy to make and goes well with rice, poori and roti’s. The chana daal should be soaked before cooking so it will not take much time and cook fast.

You can pressure the soaked daal or cook it in a pan. The cooked daal is added in a tomato gravy and few basic spices are added in the daal. Then the daal is simmered for some time so it will absorb the flavours. Lemon juice or some tamarind juice is added in the ready daal for sourness.
