Split Chickpeas
Chana Dal
Afskallede og flækkede kerner af den lille desi-kikært, dyrket på tværs af Malwa-bæltet i Madhya Pradesh, Indiens værdsatte kikærteland. Højere i fiber og polyfenoler end den større kabuli-type koger chana dal til et mørt, let fast bid med en sød, nøddeagtig dybde. Lad den simre i dals og sundals, temperér den i sydindiske retter, eller mal den til gyldent grammel.

Pakket i genlukkelige fødevaregodkendte poser, der bevarer aroma og farve — hver mærket med oprindelse, kvalitet og smagsprofil.
