Half Cup Chana Masala is a flavorful Indian dish made primarily with chickpeas simmered in a spicy, aromatic tomato-based sauce. Typical ingredients include onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, which contribute to its rich taste and vibrant color. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and several essential nutrients like folate and iron, making this dish a satisfying and nutrient-dense option. With relatively low fat content, it supports heart health and blood sugar regulation. However, some versions may use excessive oil or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation for a balanced diet. Often paired with rice or flatbread, Chana Masala is a versatile dish enjoyed by vegetarians and vegans, representing the bold and wholesome qualities of Indian cuisine in every bite.
