Chana Dal Namkeen | Spicy Fried Split Bengal Gram

Chana dal namkeen is the most easy and simple snack that you can enjoy with your tea/coffee or juice. Chana Dal or Split Bengal Gram has to be soaked for 5-6 hours; this is the only pre-preparation that has to be done for this recipe. You can even soak it overnight. Rest of the procedure is pretty simple. We just need to fry chana dal and season it with some basic spices – that’s it & our snack is ready. We have also added fried peanuts. If you want, you may even omit adding them.

Some Tips & Variations to make Chana Dal Namkeen:

  • To serve this snack in a chaat form, just add chopped tomatoes, onions, raw mango and lemon juice, toss and serve.
  • The only tricky part in this recipe is the frying of chana dal. Make sure to heat the oil for frying chana dal on high flame. Once it gets hot, reduce the flame to medium and then add the dal. Fry on a medium flame.
  • While frying chana dal, stir in-between so that dal doesn’t stick together.
  • Once bubbles in the oil supress and dal floats on the surface, the dal is done and ready to be removed from oil.
  • You can adjust spices as per your taste.
  • For Pudina flavoured dal, add Pudina Powder to this dal with all the other spices. You can refer to our steps for making Pudina/Mint powder at home.

  • 1/3 cup peanuts/sing
  • ½ teaspoon chaat masala
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder

Instructions

  • You will know that the dal is fried, when bubbles in the oil will disappear and dal will float on the surface.
  • Remove and drain them on an absorbent paper to soak excess oil.
  • In the same manner, fry the remaining dal. Also fry the peanuts.
