Chana Daal (Bengal Gram)

ABH Superfoods: Unpolished Chana Dal (Split Bengal Gram)

At ABH Superfoods, our foundational promise remains absolute: Nothing Added. Nothing Taken Away.

Our Chana Dal (Split Bengal Gram) is derived from the finest Desi Kala Chana, split and meticulously processed without the use of harmful chemicals. We strictly reject the industry practice of water polishing, leather buffing, or oil coating to make the lentils artificially shiny. You receive 100% pure, unadulterated, and unpolished Chana Dal that retains its natural matte finish, robust earthy aroma, and complete, raw nutritional power exactly as nature intended.

The Power of Sustained, Plant-Based Energy

Chana Dal is one of the most functionally dense lentils in the Indian diet. Because it remains completely unpolished, it preserves its natural dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. It is renowned for its incredibly low Glycemic Index (GI), making it an ideal staple for diabetic-friendly diets, sustained energy release, and clean muscle recovery.

Nutritional Profile (Per 100g serving, raw)

Micronutrient Highlights:

• Zinc: A vital trace mineral that fortifies the immune system, promotes cellular repair, and supports healthy skin.

• Folate (Vitamin B9): Highly concentrated in Bengal Gram, essential for healthy cell division and optimal neurological function.

• Magnesium: Acts as a natural relaxant for the nervous system, supports cardiovascular health, and aids in maintaining a steady heartbeat.

• Iron: A robust plant-based source crucial for oxygen transport in the blood, naturally combating daily fatigue and sluggishness.

• Low Glycemic Index (GI): While not a micronutrient, the specific composition of its starches ensures a very slow, steady release of glucose, preventing blood sugar spikes.

Why Choose ABH Superfoods Unpolished Chana Dal?

• 100% Pure & Untreated: The natural, slightly powdery matte finish of our dal is your guarantee that it is completely free from artificial polishing oils and synthetic colors.

• Superior Culinary Texture: Because our dal is unpolished, it absorbs water more efficiently, cooking down into a beautifully thick, creamy, and buttery consistency rather than turning watery.

• Heart & Gut Health: The rich concentration of soluble fiber helps bind cholesterol and acts as a prebiotic, feeding healthy gut bacteria for a smoothly functioning digestive tract.

How to Use Chana Dal in Your Diet

For the best texture and optimal nutrient absorption, soaking Chana Dal for 1 to 2 hours before cooking is highly recommended.

• Comforting Lauki Chana Dal: Simmer the boiled dal with fresh bottle gourd (lauki), tomatoes, ginger, and a light ghee tempering. This creates a deeply nourishing, easily digestible homestyle curry that pairs perfectly with our stone-milled wheat rotis.

• Protein-Dense Snacks (Dal Vada): Soak the dal, grind it coarsely with green chilies, curry leaves, and spices, and fry or air-fry into crispy, savory fritters. It is a fantastic, high-protein alternative to heavy, carb-laden snacks.

• Traditional Sweets (Puran Poli): Boil and mash the dal with jaggery and cardamom to create the rich, sweet filling for traditional festive flatbreads.

• Healthy Breakfasts: Soak and ferment Chana Dal to steam into light, spongy, and highly nutritious Khaman Dhokla, providing a clean, high-protein start to your day.
