Chana Dal Hummus

Chana Dal Hummus

Chana Dal Hummus, made from split chickpeas, is a delicious, protein-rich dip that is easy to make! Chana Dal is rich in protein, fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and potassium. Chana Dal can be purchased from international markets or at your local grocery store. It can be cooked in a pressure cooker or by soaking it in warm water for 1 hour, then bringing it to a boil, reducing it to a simmer, and simmering for 1-2 hours or until softened.
