Chana dal is split, hulled desi chickpeas (Bengal gram) with small, flat yellow halves. It tastes nutty and gently earthy, cooking to a tender bite that holds shape; lightly toasted, it turns aromatic and toasty. Cooks simmer it into dal, blend it into soups and vegetable curries, grind it for flour, or fry the lentils for crunchy tempering; it is typically sold dried.
