Chana Dal question
Is anyone familiar with Chana Dal? It's GI is extremely low. It's an Indian
bean which can be substituted for some other beans. It's also available as a flour for thickening. I haven't tried it, yet, but I'm going to try to get to the Indian market this week to get some. http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com/...an%20Flour.htm http://mendosa.com/chanadal.html -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War. They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ~Semper Fi~ |

Found some stuff called Dal, but was chicken to fix it given the spices that came with. Just didn't sound so good. |

Guys, it's not a wonder food. It's about on the level of lentils, in
fact, it is a lentil: http://www.tarladalal.com/GlossaryDi...d=471&Typ=Cook I want lentils too. I would not sit down and eat a whole pile of them. |

This is very confusing as many of the places I've read say they're in the chickpea family. "Chana Dal is closely related to chickpeas. It has the same scientific family name as chickpeas, "Cicer arietinum", but while chickpeas belong to the "kabuli" group, chana dal belongs to the "desi" group. "Desi" in Hindi means local or coming from the country (as in "India") -- they were always there." I tend to believe them as I dislike lentil a lot but do like chana dahl. However, if you're not careful, some places will try to tell you that a yellow split pea is chana dahl. Trouble is, split peas go all mushy when they're cooked, dahl doesn't. Bigbird |

I quote, "This bean looks just like yellow split peas, but is quite different because it doesn't readily boil down to mush. It's more closely related to garbanzo beans, or chickpeas. The differences are that chana dal is younger, smaller, split, sweeter, and has a much lower glycemic index. But you can substitute chana dal for garbanzo beans in just about any recipe. " |

At this point, I'm not sure that they're identical. Chickpeas are legumes used in the cuisines of South Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. They provide high-quality carbohydrates and protein, are recommended for diabetics, and are credited by some as the key to development of human civilisation through agriculture. There are two main types: * Kabuli - European chickpeas, ceci, or garbanzo beans, are large, white chickpeas that are much used throughout southern Europe and the Middle East, but are also used in Indian cuisine for making dahls. These chickpeas are used interchangeably with fava beans for making falafel and hoummus (hoummus means chickpea in Arabic). Chickpeas are ground finely to make chickpea flour. * Desi - Bengal gram, chana, or kadalai (Tamil), are much more common in South Asian cuisine. Grinding chana to a flour makes besan or gram flour. Chana dal or channa dhal are split, usually also hulled (skinless) chickpeas used in dals. The term nearly always refers to the Desi, but sometimes also to the Kabuli - usually though, Kabuli dal are called Kabuli chana dal. In Tamil, chana dal is called kadalai parrappu. They are often cooked with a pinch of asafoetida to make them more easy to digest. Garbanzo beans are readily available here in SoCal. Hmm! -- Nick.

Grinding > chana to a flour makes besan or gram flour. A Dahl is simply a soupy gravy made with a legume, in Indian cuisine. You can make dahl with lentils, chickpeas, anything that comes to hand. The quote Nick's found, pointing you at Desi, is what Mendosa's talking about when he talks about Chana dahl. This is how I use it - delicious - feel free to swap out the obvious no-nos in the veg list, and add in whatever you enjoy. Plain curry powder is also a fair replacement for the whole spices. You may or may not need water to mix, depending on how watery your grated veg turn out to be. The mix should not be dry, and should stick together, but is thicker than a batter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/da...on_12732.shtml Served with a recipe like this (generally with parsley instead of beans) and a salad, it's a great family-pleasing meal. http://www.recipeland.com/recipe/24078/ Nicky.

I thought "China Doll" was a 1958 movie, starring Victor Mature? In China, gruff Air Force Captain Cliff Brandon wakes up after a night of drinking to discover he has purchased the housekeeping services of comely, young Shu-Jen from her father. Disappointed by Cliff's insistence on staying out late in bars, Shu-Jen leaves for home, when Cliff, made aware that she is carrying his child, finds her and marries her in a delightful traditional Chinese ceremony. Happy days are spent as Shu-Jen and her infant daughter join Cliff at a forward base, until Cliff, returning from a supply-drop mission, hears the base is under attack by Japanese bombers. -- Nick.

Yes, it could :P Dahl is a cooking method; Channa is the kind of thing you do it with. The literal translation of Channa Dahl is something like bean puree, with the Channa bean being used. If you guys can't get hold of Bengal, Channa, or Gram beans or flour (it's all the same thing, and in every supermarket over here), try chickpeas or garbanzo and test,test,test... you're gonna want to do that even if you find Channa dahl, whatever it does for David Mendosa, aren't you...

DON'T let her near a pressure cooker <G> Mother in law helpfully opened the lid of the pressure cooker to see if the meal was cooked yet. For years I was finding sesame seeds embedded in things . . . I find the boiling of such things improves if you soak them well for long enough first and change the water, makes them less likely to crawl out of the pot |
