Chhole Masala

Chole Masala is a fragrant spice blend used to prepare chole, a popular North Indian curry made with chickpeas cooked in a spicy and tangy tomato-based gravy. This hearty dish is flavored with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, and black cardamom, which give it a distinctive flavor and aroma. The Chole Masala typically contains a mix of spices that add depth, warmth, and complexity to the dish, making it a favorite among vegetarians and meat lovers alike. In Ayurveda, chickpeas are considered a nourishing and grounding food that balances all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The spices in Chole Masala help support digestion, stimulate appetite, and promote overall well-being, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal option.
