Chana dal, also known as split chickpeas or Bengal gram, is a popular legume widely used in Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is derived from the whole chickpea (Cicer arietinum) that has been split and polished, resulting in a yellow, nutty-flavored dal. Chana dal is valued for its nutritional profile, versatility, and ability to absorb flavors from spices and other ingredients.
