East End Chana Dall – 12x1kg

Description

East End Chana Dal, split Bengal gram, in a 12x1kg catering case.

Chana dal is the split and polished form of black chickpea, or kala chana, with a firm bite and a mild nutty flavour that holds its shape well in cooking. East End supplies it as 12x1kg, meaning twelve one-kilogram packs per case, so twelve kilograms in all. A staple pulse for high turnover kitchens.
