The Shan chana masala is a spice mix to you can use to prepare either chickpea curry or chana cholay chaat. Both recipes are given on the box of the Shana chana masala and although the recipe is fairly simple, it does require a lot of time to boil the chickpeas until they are at the right consistency and are soft enough to eat. You can also use the Shan chana masala with your own recipe to prepare the dish to your taste. With a taste as flavorful and aromatic as if you had prepared the dish with freshly ground spices, the Shan chana masala is a great convenience for anyone looking to prepare chickpea curry.

The first product that I tried from Shan was the Butter Chicken recipe. In that recipe, one is asked to use the entire contents of the package as part of the ingredient list and it's delicious. That is not so with the Chana Masala. In the case of Chana Masala, just a small portion, anywhere from a couple of teaspoonfuls two up to three tablespoonfuls depending on your taste. Please taste as you go along. Above all, do NOT use the entire contents of the package. I read some reviews around the web where customers had used the entire contents of the package and were horrified by the flavor. I'm not surprised. So follow the instructions or just go plan on going easy with the contents of the package and you will be very happy with the results. One distinct benefit of less-is-more is that you have enough for several recipes. As for myself, this is one of the tastiest ways I have ever prepared chickpeas. Thank you
