Chana Dal

Retired and spend quality creative time in the kitchen. We stick to chicken, turkey, seafood and vegetarian dishes. My biggest vice would be dark chocolate! Favourite food - Mud Crab; Favourite fruit - Mango; Favourite vegetable - sugar snap peas. Bon Appetit from Down Under

My favourite Chana Dal Recipe is where chana dal is cooked with onion, tomatoes and a bunch of spices to make it super flavourful. It is also vegan and gluten-free.
