About Chhole

Chhole, also known as Chana Masala, is a hearty and flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily with chickpeas (garbanzo beans), it is cooked in a robust tomato-based gravy seasoned with traditional spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, chickpeas promote digestive health, support heart health, and help maintain steady blood sugar levels. The dish is often enhanced with ingredients like onion, garlic, ginger, and fresh cilantro, adding layers of taste and nutrition. Chhole is typically enjoyed with rice or flatbreads such as roti or naan. While packed with nutrients, its healthfulness may vary depending on preparation—oil and added salt can increase calorie and sodium content. Opting for minimal oil or homemade versions can make it a more balanced option. Vibrant and nourishing, Chhole is both a comfort food and a nutritious addition to a well-rounded diet.
