₹160.0
Amritsari Chana Masala is a delicious and aromatic North Indian dish that features chickpeas (chana) cooked in a flavorful and spicy tomato-based gravy. This dish originated in Amritsar, Punjab, India, and has gained popularity across the country and beyond for its robust and satisfying taste. The main ingredient, chickpeas, are soaked overnight and then cooked until they are tender and have a pleasant texture. The dish’s magic lies in the special blend of spices used in the masala (spice mix), which gives it a distinct taste that sets it apart from other chickpea dishes.
Typically, the spice blend for Amritsari Chana Masala includes ingredients like cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, dried mango powder (amchur), turmeric, red chili powder, and sometimes a hint of asafoetida (hing). These spices are sautéed in oil or ghee to release their flavors and then combined with finely chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to create a flavorful base for the dish. Once the spices and aromatics are cooked down and the raw flavors mellow, the tomato puree is added to the mixture. The tanginess of the tomatoes complements the spices, creating a rich and hearty gravy. Some variations of the recipe may also include yogurt or cream to add creaminess and depth to the flavor profile.
