About Chhola

Chhola, also known as chana masala, is a flavorful Indian dish made primarily from chickpeas simmered in a spiced tomato-based gravy. This vegetarian staple hails from Punjabi cuisine and is enjoyed across South Asia and beyond. Packed with protein and fiber, chickpeas in chhola support digestion and promote satiety, making it a nutritious choice for vegetarians and vegans. The dish is often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and coriander, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While the dish is inherently healthy, its calorie content can vary depending on oil usage and accompaniments like rice or naan. To maximize health benefits, opt for lighter oil and pair chhola with whole grains or salad. High in plant-based nutrients and low in cholesterol, chhola is a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
