FRIED CHANA DAL

Hi friends,
Spicy fried chana dal is a very easy and simple indian snack recipe. it can be easily made at home. Once made, it can be stored in an air-tight container for about a week.

INGREDIENTS:

• Chana dal - 1/2 cup
• Water - 1/2-3/4 cup
• Oil for deep frying
• Red Chilli powder - 1/2 - 1tsp depending on the desired spicy taste
• Salt to taste

METHOD:

• Soak the chana dal in water for about 4-6 hours
• Drain the water completely
• Spread the Chana dal on a kitchen towel
• Allow it to dry for about half an hour
• Deep fry the Chana dal in batches in hot oil
• Remove from oil
• I use the mesh strainer for this, you may also use the puri strainer or the regular strainer for this
• Place it on a kitchen tissue to drain off the excess oil 
• Add Salt and red chilli powder when the fried Chana dal is still hot
• Mix well
• Allow it to cool
• Store in an air-tight container

• The airtight container I use for storage depends on the amount that I need to store. Accordingly, I use one of the containers, the links for which are given below:

  
  

  Tupperware Plastic Container - 1.7 Litres

  
  

  Tupperware - Within Reach Canister 840ml
