Most people are only aquanted with Indian curry. Curry is simply a mixture
of spices and all cultures have their own curry, in North and South America
it is Chilli. Now as for the Chana, I'm familiar with the term in the
context of dalls (India term for peas) there is chana dall and tor dall, in
India these are a white and yellow split pea (in case you havn't guessed
I'm big on gourmet foods). I have always understood Gram flour to be a kind
of whole wheat flour (that is what is used to make Gram crackers), best to
stick with trustable brands like Cerasota.
