About Boiled chana masala

Boiled Chana Masala is a flavorful Indian dish made with boiled chickpeas (chana) simmered in a rich blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, along with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Often garnished with fresh cilantro, it delivers a burst of earthy, tangy, and mildly spicy flavors. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making this dish a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and sustained energy levels. The use of aromatic spices adds anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Generally cooked with minimal oil, it is both nourishing and satisfying. However, for those watching sodium levels, the addition of salt or canned chickpeas may need moderation. Pairing it with whole-grain bread or rice creates a balanced, wholesome meal that highlights the vibrant and nutritious essence of Indian vegetarian cuisine.
