About Amritsari channa

Amritsari Channa is a hearty and flavorful dish originating from the vibrant culinary traditions of Punjab, India. This protein-packed recipe features tender, slow-cooked chickpeas simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-onion gravy seasoned with aromatic Indian spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Often garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, it is typically enjoyed with fluffy bhature, rice, or whole-grain bread. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, making this dish both nourishing and satisfying. However, the healthiness of Amritsari Channa can depend on preparation methods; using minimal oil and reducing salt content ensures it remains a heart-healthy choice. It’s a comforting, versatile dish suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking to enjoy the robust flavors of Punjabi cuisine.
