Chana dal is a deep fried crunchy Indian snack made using soaked split Bengal Gram or Chana Dal. Soaking chana dal with water and milk for about 4 hours or overnight and drying chana dal very well is the key secret to get the perfect crispiness. Enjoy crunchy chana dal snack with a cup of tea or any time of the day. You can add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, cilantro, and chat masala to the deep fried chana dal and enjoy it.
