Vegan Natural ChoiceNov 24, 2007
By vegancompassion

Vegan. Natural. Excellent quality. Chana dal is one of my favorites from when I lived in India & Nepal. Dal is the primary protein source for vegetarians in South Asia and can also be a great part of any vegan diet. Here is "Greg's Flavorful Chana Dal" recipe: Pour safflower oil in bottom of crock pot or deep fryer (.25"/.5 cm) and heat; after hot add minced fresh ginger, minced fresh garlic, minced fresh onion, and minced fresh habenero or chilis (optional) to taste and cook/stir for 1-3 minutes; add 3 parts water for however much chana dal you intend to cook and boil; then add chana dal; cook and occasionally stir for about 1.5 hrs or until creamy consistency. If preparing small portion, then do first steps in small frypan and transfer to cooking pot so oil is not too much. This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews for more great choices. Check out "Vegan Grocery Favorites" and "Vegan Grocery Top Ten" in Listmania. Your "helpful" votes count and will be greatly appreciated to benefit the search of others. Thank you.

You can call it dal or hummus & it's easyJul 04, 2006
By Steven Rossellini
The biggest pain to making authentic hummus from dried chick peas is removing the chick peas' skins after they've been cooked, after hours of soaking the dried beans, prior to cooking. Bob's Red Mill Chana Dal Beans removes the real work. While not exactly garbanzos, Bob's chana dal split beans are a very close cousin. Soak a pound for a couple of hours, rinse, then cook until softened, and run them through the food processor with a little cooking water, tahini, lemon, garlic, cumin, salt, and a smidgeon of turmeric and pepper flakes. One pound dry will make about three pounds of delicious hummus.

By Sandy B
I ordered these beans after reading that they are very low impact on blood sugar. They are the high quality you would expect from Bob's Red Mill, well packed and shipped quickly.

This product offers an amazing amount of nutrition, is very easy to prepare, versatile, and so inexpensive. Adapts to a large variety of herbs and spices for using by itself or combining with rice, lentils, and assorted other grains. A fine and ancient food.

Nice flavor, good textureJul 23, 2008
By Lynnette Hafken
I have made Dal with this twice, and I love it! The lentils don't dissolve into mush; they still have good texture, and it just makes a great soup.
