Ingredients
1 cup Chana Dal, split and peeled black chickpeas 8 cups Water 1/2 tsp Turmeric 1 tbsp Olive Oil 1/2 tsp Cumin 2 pinch Asafetida 1 tsp fresh Ginger in small pieces Salt according to taste.How to cook Chana Dal
It is always recommended to wash any kind of Dal before you cook it. So you take the chickpeas, wash them and then soak them for some hours in a pot with 8 cups of water.
After four to five hours, you simply place that pot on the stove, add some salt and the turmeric and heat it up. You don’t need to do a lot of work for cooking this dish but you need time and patience. It will take about 45 minutes in boiling water for your chana dal to get soft.
When they are soft, you can turn the heat low and start the preparation of the Tadka. For this, you heat up the olive oil in a pan. When hot, you add the cumin, the asafetida powder and the ginger. Asafetida has a strong smell that develops its full aroma while you stir and fry it shortly in the hot oil.
Before it burns, you put the mixture into the pot with dal. Mix it well and serve your delicious Chana Dal with rice and vegetables and maybe some Indian flat bread to have a delicious Indian meal.
Ayurvedic Values
Chana Dal, as it is split chickpeas, has the same Ayurvedic values as chickpeas have. It increases vata, the gas in the body. This is - apart from the great taste – the reason for using a higher amount of asafetida and ginger, which both reduce gas creation in your intestines.
Besides that, chickpeas are a good source of folate and proteins. They are high in fiber and low in fat.
