It has been recently discovered that split Bengal gram (chana dal), because of its low glycemic index, is a very beneficial pulse for diabetics as it helps in the utilization of sugar effectively causing a slow rise in blood sugar levels. Here is a pancake recipe with soaked chana dal mixed with vitamin rich vegetables and protein rich curds to enhance its taste. Cook these pancakes over a slow flame because the chana dal is coarsely ground and will take a while to cook well.
