To prepare roasted chana dal [called also roasted gram], warm up a large empty frying pan on medium heat. Once the pan is warm, add the dal and allow to cook until lightly brown, continuously mixing and turning. As soon as these are roasted until deep golden, move them to a plate and spread them out to cool down. You can prepare larger quantities and store any leftovers in an airtight container, such as a glass jar, for about 4-6 weeks.
