How to Eat Chana Dal for Vitamin B12 

Chana dal or split Bengal gram is one of the most common but highly nutritious pulses found in Indian kitchens. It is rich in protein, fibre, iron and zinc. But when this dal is sprouted or fermented (like in idli/dhokla batter), some amount of vitamin B12 like compounds are formed in it. Although this quantity is not as much as non-vegetarian sources, it can be a great option for vegetarians.

How to consume?

• You can prepare chana dal vegetable or dal and eat it once daily.
• Make sprouted gram salad and eat it.
• Dhokla or cheela made from chana dal can increase B12 in fermented form.
• Gram soup or dal khichdi is also rich in nutrition.
