Dhatu Organic Fried Gram 500g — Roasted Chana Dal for Snacking, Chutneys & Besan
Fried Gram is whole Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum) that has been roasted at high heat until the husk splits, revealing the split golden kernel inside — traditionally called Hurigadale in Kannada, Pottukadalai in Tamil and Dalia in Hindi. It is among the most widely used ingredients in South Indian cooking: a crunchy snack eaten dry, the primary thickener and protein source in coconut chutneys, the base for chutney powders (chutney pudi), and an ingredient in traditional energy preparations like laddu and chivda.
Dhatu's Organic Fried Gram uses certified organic Bengal gram, roasted without any oil, salt, flavouring or coating — just the grain, dry-roasted as it has always been done.

Fried Gram in South Indian Cooking — A Multi-Role Ingredient
Few ingredients are as quietly essential to South Indian cooking as Fried Gram. Its roles span multiple meal contexts:
- Coconut chutney: A tablespoon of fried gram blended with fresh coconut, green chilli, ginger and salt produces the classic white coconut chutney served with idli and dosa — the gram provides body, creaminess and protein without overpowering the coconut flavour.
- Chutney pudi (dry chutney powder): Dry-blended with desiccated coconut, sesame, dried red chillies, garlic and salt, fried gram is the backbone of the spiced powder eaten mixed with oil or ghee and rice.
- Laddu: Ground fried gram (Pottu kadalai maavu / Dalia flour) is the base for the traditional Andhra/Karnataka fried gram laddu — mixed with jaggery, ghee and cardamom.
- Direct snacking: Eaten plain as a crunchy, protein-rich snack. A practical alternative to fried or salted packaged snacks.
- Chivda (trail mix): Added to beaten rice, peanuts, curry leaves and spices for a mixed snack preparation.
