Chana (Chole, Chholay) Masala
YIELD: 1½ CUPS (356 ML)
This is the perfect spice blend for the
spicy chickpea curry called chana
masala. (It’s a little confusing, but the
dish and the spice blend go by the same
name.) The key to this spice blend is
the dried pomegranate seeds, which
lend a needed sourness to the dish.
Sheer perfection!
¼ cup (24 g) cumin seeds
¼ cup (20 g) coriander seeds
¼ cup (28 g) dried pomegranate seeds
(anardana)
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
