Haldiram’s Chana Dal — Description
What it is
A crispy, savoury Indian snack (namkeen) made from split chickpeas (chana dal) that have been roasted or fried, then seasoned with spices. It’s a popular go‑to munch for those who like something crunchy, hearty, and flavourful.
Flavor, Texture & Experience
-
Texture: Very crunchy and crisp. The split chickpeas are roasted/fried until golden, resulting in a satisfying snap.
-
Taste: Savoury with mild spiciness. There’s a balance of heat (from chilli powder and pepper), tang (from lemon or mango powder), and aromatic spice (garlic, onion, ginger etc.). Also some herbal notes (mint or coriander) in some variants.
-
Mouthfeel: Dry, without much moisture; after opening, the crispness is emphasized.
