Kashmiri Fava Beans halved (Chilith Baegle Dal) 400gm

Chilith Baegle Dal (also called halved Bogla Dal or halved Kashmiri fava beans) is a traditional Kashmiri pulse made from dried broad beans that are roughly split into halves. This processing reduces cooking time and enhances digestibility while preserving the hearty flavor of whole fava beans. It's a favorite in Kashmiri households, especially during colder months.

Harvested and sun‑dried in the Himalayan valley, this dal delivers an authentic experience of Kashmiri culinary heritage.
