Creamy Coconut Chana Dal Chana Dal, also known as split chickpeas, gives a nice chew to this dal recipe. It's a larger-sized legume, so it needs to be soaked overnight before cooking (unless you're using a pressure cooker). If you want to skip the soaking step, feel free to use yellow or red lentils. In that case, decrease the cooking time from 30 minutes to 15 minutes.
