I have found it occationally in the big supermarkets but its hit and miss. David Mendosa says this about it [url=http://www.mendosa.com/chanadal.html]http://www.mendosa.com/chanadal.html[/url] However ask for Chana Dal in an Indian restaurant and you will probably be given a chickpea curry (Chana Dhal or Dal) which is NOT the same thing, Chana Dal is a type of lentil in its own right and has an extremely low GI. That said my wife also makes a Chickpea curry at home called a Chana Masala which is pretty good bg level wise, although I only eat it in a two spoonful sized portion. I think Ive posted the recipe for Chana Masala on this forum somewhere, have a search :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
