Frequently Asked Questions

Why does chhole masala make the chickpeas darker than other spice blends? Chhole masala contains tea leaves or anardana (pomegranate seed) which impart a characteristic dark color to the chickpeas — this is a defining feature of authentic chhole.

Can I use this masala for other legumes? Yes — it works well for rajma (kidney beans), black-eyed peas, and lobia, delivering a similar earthy, bold flavor profile.

Can chhole masala be used in a slow cooker? Yes — add masala with the other ingredients from the start for slow cooker chhole with deep, fully developed flavor.
