    Absolutely perfect dal!

    I've been using this chana dal for a month now. The grains are so clean and uniform. It cooks perfectly in 20 minutes in the pressure cooker. The halwa I made turned out divine!

    Vikram Singh
    Very good quality, slightly overpriced

    Great product overall. The dal is fresh and has a nice aroma. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the delivery took an extra day. Otherwise, highly recommend!

    Rohit Sharma
    Best for khichdi

    I specifically bought this for making chana dal khichdi, and it turned out amazing. The dal breaks down just enough to give a creamy texture without turning mushy. Highly satisfied.

    Priya Menon
    Average quality, nothing special

    It's decent dal, but I didn't find it vastly superior to the local brand I usually buy. The packaging was good, but the taste was standard. Might not repurchase at this price.

    We're sorry to hear that, Priya. We'll work on enhancing the flavor profile. Thank you for giving us a try!

    Dr. Sunil Reddy
    Excellent for diabetics

    My nutritionist recommended low-GI foods, and this chana dal fits perfectly. It doesn't spike my blood sugar, and the protein content keeps me full for hours. A staple in my kitchen now.

    Takes longer to cook than expected

    The website says 15-20 mins in a pressure cooker, but I had to give it 25 minutes even after soaking for an hour. The texture was fine eventually, but the timing was off.

    We apologize for the inconvenience, Arjun. Cooking times can vary based on the cooker and water quality. We'll update the guidelines.

    Perfect for stuffed parathas

    I used this dal to make the filling for parathas, and it was a game changer. The grains were perfectly split and didn't turn into a paste. My family loved it.

    K
    Karan Mehta
    Packaging was damaged

    The product is good, but the outer pouch came slightly torn. Thankfully the inner seal was intact, so the dal wasn't spoiled. Please improve the shipping boxes.

    We sincerely apologize for the damaged packaging, Karan. We'll escalate this to our logistics team immediately.

    Clean and stone-free

    I hate it when I find stones in my dal, but this one was completely clean. Just washed it once and cooked it directly. Very hygienic and fresh.

    Deepak Gupta
    Not worth the premium

    I compared this side-by-side with a generic brand. The taste difference was negligible. For the price, I expected a distinctively better flavor, but it didn't deliver.

    Neha Jain
    Great for weight loss

    I'm on a high-protein diet, and this dal is a lifesaver. It fills me up quickly, and the fiber helps with digestion. I've already ordered my second pack.

    R
    Ravi Deshmukh
    Good, but needs soaking

    Unlike toor dal, this one definitely requires a 30-minute soak. I forgot once and it took forever to cook. Once cooked, the taste was quite good.

    Thank you for the tip, Ravi! Yes, soaking definitely helps with split Bengal gram.

    Maya Pillai
    Traditional tadka dal came out awesome

    I made the classic chana dal tadka with ghee and cumin, and it was restaurant-quality. The dal held its shape beautifully and absorbed the spices well.

    S
    Suresh Babu
    Quality check failed

    I found a few discolored grains in my pack. Not too many, maybe 5-6, but for a premium brand that promises 'batch-wise verification', this was disappointing.

    We are very sorry for this oversight, Suresh. This is not our standard. Please reach out to our support for a replacement.

    Aditi Rao
    Nice earthy flavor

    I love the natural, earthy taste of this dal. It doesn't have that weird chemical aftertaste that some packed dals have. Feels very farm-fresh.

    G
    Ganesh Iyer
    Moisture content seems high

    The dal felt slightly damp when I opened the pack, unlike the crisp dry texture I usually get. I had to sun-dry it for a bit before storing.

    We have noted this feedback, Ganesh. We will double-check the drying process in our next batch.

    Kavita Nair
    Family favorite now

    My kids usually hate dal, but they loved the halwa I made with this! I've also started adding it to soups for extra protein. Will definitely reorder.

    Amit Trivedi
    Decent product

    It's a standard chana dal. Does the job. I didn't find anything exceptionally good or bad about it. Might buy again if there's a discount.

    Excellent for sambhar mix

    I mix this with toor dal for sambhar, and the texture contrast is beautiful. This dal adds a nice bite to the sambhar. Great quality.

    M
    Mohan Singh
    Too expensive for daily use

    I cook chana dal almost every day. At this price point, it's just not affordable for daily consumption. I'll stick to my local kirana store for bulk.

    Pooja Khanna
    Perfect texture for chole

    I usually use chickpeas for chole, but tried this dal for a quick version. It didn't get mushy at all. A great alternative when I'm short on time.

    Saurabh Joshi
    Love the traceability feature

    I scanned the QR code on the pack and it showed me the batch details! That's a huge trust factor for me. More brands should do this. Great job, Naturelink!

    Thank you for noticing our traceability initiative, Saurabh! We believe in complete transparency.

    Cooked unevenly

    Some grains were perfectly soft, while a few remained hard even after 30 minutes of cooking. Not sure if it was a bad batch, but it was frustrating.

    We are sorry about this, Dinesh. We are checking our processing equipment to ensure uniform size.
