"Create a comforting Chana Dal Tadka by simmering soaked split chickpeas with turmeric until tender, then finishing with a fragrant tempering of cumin, garlic, dried red chillies and ghee or oil. Serve with fluffy basmati rice, warm chapatis or freshly prepared rotis for a satisfying Indian meal. For a South Indian twist, prepare delicious chana dal sundal with mustard seeds, curry leaves and freshly grated coconut, or combine with vegetables to make traditional usili. Chana Dal is also ideal for crispy dal vadas, hearty bottle gourd curries and sweet puran poli fillings.
For best results, rinse thoroughly and soak for at least one hour before cooking. Pressure cook one cup of dal with approximately three cups of water until tender, adjusting the cooking time depending on whether you prefer a soft, creamy consistency or firmer, distinct pieces."
