Dal Biji – Crunchy Indian Snack Mix

Dal biji is a crunchy, savoury Indian snack mix, a type of namkeen, made from fried lentils and peanuts and seasoned with spices. It is eaten by the handful with tea, or used to add crunch to other snacks.

What Dal Biji Tastes and Feels Like

Dal biji is dry, crisp and light to bite, with a toasted, nutty taste. Small pieces of fried lentil give a sharp crunch, and the peanuts add a firmer bite. The seasoning is savoury and spiced rather than sweet.

Spice levels differ between snack mixes, so check the product details on this page for the exact ingredients and allergen information before you buy.

Ways to Enjoy Dal Biji

Dal biji works as a simple snack straight from the bowl. It also makes a good topping for other dishes. Here are some common ways to use it:

  • Serve it in a bowl with a cup of masala chai in the afternoon
  • Sprinkle it over bhel puri or other chaat for extra crunch
  • Scatter it over poha just before serving
  • Add a spoonful to a plain bowl of yoghurt and rice for texture
  • Put it out in small bowls for family gatherings, Diwali and Eid

Dal Biji or Bhujia: What Is the Difference?

Dal biji and bhujia are both namkeen, but they are made differently. Bhujia is made from fine gram flour strands. Dal biji is made from whole fried pieces of lentil and peanut, so it is chunkier and crunchier.

If you like a firm, nutty crunch, dal biji is the better pick. If you prefer thin, light strands, bhujia suits you more.

Dal Biji FAQ

What is dal biji made from?

Dal biji is usually made from fried lentils and peanuts with spices and salt. Recipes vary, so read the ingredients list on this page for this exact product.

Is dal biji the same as dalmoth?

They are close relatives, but not always the same. Both are fried lentil snacks, though dalmoth usually has a finer, thinner texture and dal biji is often chunkier with peanuts mixed in.

Can I use dal biji in chaat?

Yes, dal biji is often sprinkled over chaat, bhel and similar snacks at the end. Adding it just before serving keeps it crunchy.

Add dal biji to your basket for your next tea-time snack or bowl of chaat.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
