Cholay, also known as chana masala, is a popular dish from Indian and Pakistani cuisine featuring chickpeas cooked in a flavorful tomato-based gravy. The dish is infused with aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, paired with onions, garlic, and ginger for a robust taste. Cholay is typically served with rice, flatbread, or naan, making it a versatile and filling meal. Chickpeas are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, supporting digestion and heart health. However, the dish's nutritional profile depends on its preparation; excessive oil or cream may increase calorie and fat content. Cholay is easily customizable to make it a lighter and nutrient-dense option by reducing added fats and pairing it with whole-grain bread or brown rice.
