Chana dal is a mixture of dried split chickpeas, spices, onion, ginger, garlic and a spicy tomato broth. I make it in the Instant Pot which renders the dal cooked but not mushy in 18 minutes without soaking. Google Chana dal Instant Pot for a recipe that sounds good to you.

I served this over Power Greens and my 50/50 mixture of rice and riced cauliflower with some cilantro garnish and a squirt of sriracha in the rice.
