Frequently Asked Questions

Is chana dal masala the same as chana masala? No — chana masala is for whole chickpeas (chole) while chana dal masala is formulated for split chickpeas. The spice balance differs to complement the different texture and cooking style.

Can I use chana dal masala for regular dals like toor or masoor? It will produce a result but the flavor balance may be slightly off — the masala is specifically calibrated for chana dal’s sweeter, firmer character.

What is chana dal and how is it different from whole chickpeas? Chana dal are split, hulled baby chickpeas (Bengal gram) — they cook to a tender but firm texture with a naturally sweeter character than regular chickpeas.
