Chana Dal Puri or Dal Puri (poori) is traditional, authentic Uttar Pradesh/Bihar recipe made during Dussehra/Dasara in our home. This is called Chana Dal Puri but it's actually made as stuffed paratha.  Chana dal poori made on Dussehra (Vijayadashami), Holi, wedding, during winter or on any auspicious occasion or celebration.   This is one of family's favorite dal puri made with minimal ingredients its very simple and taste delicious, during Dussehra chana dal puri is served with Bakheer another traditional recipe.

Chana dal puri made on 2nd day of wedding when the brides come home and to welcome her and guest dal puri, bakheer normally gets served.  In my home still whenever we go back dal puri is made always once or twice and specially on the last day.  As a kid I never used to like bakheer and even this dal puri, we used to remove all the stuffing and eat only the puri but now it's just opposite I like bakheer and this chana dal puri too, you can make this dal puri and serve with bakheer or normal kheer, seviyan, curd, pickle or try my favorite with tea best combination ever for me with any poori, paratha.

Boiled, mashed chana dal with minimal ingredients stuffed and roll as paratha and cooked and these parathas are normally very stuff and taste good from 2nd day on wards and stay fresh for almost a week during winter if handled properly. In summer this chana dal puri will stay fresh for 2-3 days at max depending on temperature but normally dal puri is not made in summer as chana dal causes heat in body which is bad during summers.

Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Serves:15 to 18 Puri

Ingredients:

    For Chana Dal Stuffing
  • 2 Cups - Chana Dal/Bengal gram Lentil
  • To Taste - Salt
  • 1/2 tsp - Turmeric Powder

    Method:

    1. Soak chana dal for 15 minutes or even longer, you can soak dal over night too.  Wash well chana dal and pressure cook for 4 Whistles with salt to taste, turmeric powder and water just covering dal. Dal shouldn't get fully mashed you have to take care of that and add less water than you for normal dal cooking.
    2. Once pressure released, strain dal in a strainer and keep aside so all water gets drained (this is important if not stuffing will be messy), meanwhile we can work on other things.
