Split Chickpeas
Chana Dal
Gepelde en gespleten pitten van de kleine desi-kikkererwt, geteeld in de Malwa-gordel van Madhya Pradesh, India's gewaardeerde kikkererwtenland. Hoger in vezels en polyfenolen dan het grotere kabuli-type, kookt chana dal tot een malse, licht stevige beet met een zoete, nootachtige diepte. Laat sudderen tot dals en sundals, fruit het in Zuid-Indiase gerechten, of maal het tot goudgeel grammeel.
