Health Benefits of Chana Masala

Our Smoky Mountain Chana Masala is a versatile spice blend that can elevate a variety of dishes. Use it to prepare the traditional Chana Masala by cooking chickpeas in a tomato-based gravy with our masala mix, onions, and garlic. This spice blend can also enhance the flavor of other legume-based dishes, such as lentil stews or black bean curries. Additionally, you can use it as a seasoning for roasted vegetables or to add a zesty kick to soups and salads.
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chickpeas: If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well.
Cook the Base: In a large pan, heat some oil and add chopped onions. Sauté until golden brown, then add ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.
Add the Spices: Add Smoky Mountain Chana Masala to the pan and stir well. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
Combine and Simmer: Add the cooked chickpeas to the pan and mix well. Add water or chickpea cooking liquid to reach the desired consistency. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.
