Chana dal is produced by removing the skin of Kala chana and then splitting it. Although machines can do this, it can be done at home by soaking the whole chickpeas, and removing the loose skins by placing the chickpeas between two towels and rubbing with a rolling pin. Kala chana - small chickpeas with brown skins - Kondai kadalai in Tamil. In the US and Canada it is known as desi chickpea and the variety most used is called Myles. It is very disease resistant. Kabuli dal - known for its black coat, it is an average size chickpea. It grows naturally with the black coat not roasted as some believe and it is said to be nuttier in flavor.

The hulling of a pulse is intended to improve digestibility and palatability, but affects nutrition provided by the dish, reducing dietary fiber content -- as with milling of whole grains into refined grains.citation needed Pulses with their outer hull intact are also quite popular in India and Pakistan as the main cuisine. Over 50 different varieties of pulses are known in India and Pakistan. Preparing dal Mussor Dal being prepared Mussor Dal being prepared Most dal recipes are prepared quite simply. The standard preparation of dal begins with boiling a variety of dal or a mix in water with some turmeric, salting to taste, and then adding a tadka also known as tarka, chaunk or baghaar at the end of the cooking process. Tadka Main article: tadka Tadka or tarka also known as chaunk or baghar consists of various spices or other flavorings fried in a small amount of oil. The ingredients in the tadka for each variety of dal vary by region and individual tastes, but common tadka combinations include cumin, chilli powder cayenne powder, and onion or mustard seeds and garlic. In some recipes, ginger, tamarind, unripe mango, or other ingredients are added while cooking the dal, often to impart a sour flavor. Some preparations also call for mashing the cooked dal a bit with a hand masher or suitable rolling pin. Other common tadka ingredients include asafoetida, fresh or dried chili pods, cilantro, garam masala and cumin seeds. The raw spices are fried for a few seconds in the hot oil first, and then the remaining ingredients are added. The garlic is typically only fried for a minute or two, but the onion is fried for 10 minutes or until browned. The tadka, or spice-infused oil, is poured over the cooked dal and served with bread or over Basmati rice. All of the beans pulses listed above can be used with this method to make the variety of different dals eaten across the region. 3 Pejorative Use Main article: Dal Khor The usage of the word dal can at times be used in a disparaging fashion as some use the label Dal Khor literally dal eater in Persian in a belittling manner toward Pakistanis or those from the Indian Subcontinent.4 Some Pakistanis living in rural areas have been nicknamed dal khor5 seemingly more often than those living in the urban cities given the popularity of vegetarianism in the countryside.
