Chana Dal Sabji Recipe

I like a dal/ sabji which is versatile, by that I mean it can be eaten with rice and for a change, it can also be eaten with chapati. Split Bengal gram is the most popular legume from many Indian Lentils consumed. Not only both the eating experiences are different but each lends different flavor. Chana Dal is high in fiber and a good source of zinc, folate, calcium, and protein.

Chana dal is extremely delectable, replete with nutrients and is easily digestible. It is a great choice on your journey to weight loss and it also boosts your immunity. Boil it and then add it to the aromatic sautéed mixture. Not only it looks mouthwatering but it tastes awesomesauce as well.
