Frequently Asked Questions

Is 4 lb of chana dal good for regular use? For families that use chana dal weekly in dals, frying, chutney and sweets, the 4 lb pack reduces shopping frequency and cost per serving.

Can I use chana dal to make besan at home? Yes — dry-roast chana dal and grind in a high-powered blender or food processor to make fresh besan (gram flour) for pakoras and ladoos.
