About Chana Masala

Chana masala is chickpeas cooked in a tangy masala of onion, tomato, ginger and spices. It is everyday food across North India and a favorite of vegetarians and vegans.

Regional versions

Punjabi chole is darker and spicier, often cooked with tea leaves for color. Pindi chole is drier and tangy with dried mango powder, and Mumbai ragda is made with white peas.

What to order with it

Eat it with bhatura, puri or rice. It is usually vegan, but ask, as some kitchens finish it with butter or ghee.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
