Dal Channa / Desi Channa

Dal Chana Nimko is a flavorful snack that combines the crunch of roasted chickpeas with a medley of other ingredients. The main component is crispy, fried chana dal (split chickpeas), which gives the snack its hearty and nutty flavor. This mix is often enhanced with crispy sev (gram flour noodles), roasted peanuts, and sometimes additional lentils or nuts for extra texture. Seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, chili powder, turmeric, and a hint of chaat masala or amchur (dried mango powder), Dal Chana Nimko offers a savory and tangy taste. It’s a popular choice for snacking with tea or as a crunchy, spicy treat during gatherings.
