Lekali Chana Daal (Split Chickpeas – Yellow)
Protein-Rich, Nutty, and Versatile - A Pantry Essential
Lekali Chana Daal is a split version of the humble chickpea, known for its dense texture, nutty flavor, and high protein content. Carefully cleaned and naturally sun-dried, these golden lentils are a favorite in both Nepali and Indian kitchens.
From comforting chana daal curries to crunchy snacks and savory pakoras, this pulse adapts beautifully to a wide range of recipes. High in dietary fiber, iron, and slow-digesting carbohydrates, it provides long-lasting energy and supports gut health.
Unlike commercial pulses that are machine-polished, Lekali Chana Daal is processed with minimal intervention to retain its natural nutrients and authentic taste. It cooks up firm yet tender - holding its shape in curries while absorbing spices wonderfully.
Best Used In:
• Traditional daal with tomato and turmeric
• Savory fritters or pancakes
• Protein-rich salads and soups
Why It Stands Out:
• Naturally protein-rich and iron-dense
• Sourced from local highland farms
• Great for vegetarian and vegan diets
• Supports digestion and heart health
