Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 chana dhal This is a round split yellow lentil, similar in appearance to the smaller moong dhal and the larger yellow split pea, which can be used as a substitute. It is used as a binding agent in some dishes and is widely available from Indian stores. This was the definition I could find online. If this is what you are wanting to know about, then yes, it should be fine since lentils are okay. The trick is that I saw a lot of different recipes that used this term differently. Beans are sort of tricky since some are allowed and others are not. I would make sure that these yellow lentils are truly chana dhal before you purchase them. Also, remember that beans and lentils are not recommended until about 6 months into the diet at which point there should be significant healing and relief of symptoms.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I used to eat chana dhal (tons of indian stores here in CA) due to it having low glycmic index (my blood sugar would only go up a few points eating these), but I did a search on the internet and some say it comes from a chickpea family, some say it is a type of lentil, so I am not sure what the deal is. I guess I should stay away to be on the safe side, but I need to gain some weight so I am looking for good low glycmic high carb food... > chana dhal > This is a round split yellow lentil, similar in appearance to the > smaller moong dhal and the larger yellow split pea, which can > be used as a substitute.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 From SCDinfo: > Does anyone know? (chana dhal looks like yellow split peas but they > are not) I searched about 25 sites on this item. Seems they are more a bean, and have starch. So they are not ok on the scd diet. Plus garbanzo beans are definitely out of the scd diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
