Chana Masala Powder

Chana Masala Powder (चना मसाला ) is a perfect blend of spices which play an important role in any chana recipe like chole or pindi chana. This is the best ever chole masala which you can easily make at home. You can easily buy this at any store but I prefer homemade chana masala because homemade masala powder is pure, fresh, free of preservative and better than store bought. You can try this, this is easy to make and have a perfect aroma and flavor.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Anardana Powder (Pomegranate seeds)
4 tbsp. Dhania (Coriander Seeds)
2 inch Dalchini (Cinnamon Stick)
1 tsp. Laung (Clove)
2 tsp. Jeera (Cumin)
1 tsp. Ajwain (Carom seeds)
1 tsp. Kali Mirch (Black pepper)
5 Black Cardamom (Badi Elaichi)
1 tsp. Javitri (Mace)
4-6 Bay leaves
1 tsp. Dry ginger powder

1 tsp. Kasuri Methi

Instructions:

Heat a pan on a low flame. Add whole spices except ginger powder and anardana. Dry roast all the ingredients without adding any oil.

Roast them with stirring continuously without burning until they start to give a good smell. We don’t want to brown them, we want to remove the moisture from the spices to increase their shelf life.

Transfer to a plate. Let them cool down.
Take a grinder and add all the spices including ginger powder and anardana powder. Start grinding the mixture. Grind into a powdered form. Ensure that all the seeds get evenly ground.

Open the lid and remove into a bowl. Store in an airtight or sun dried glass jar.

Tips:

The color of the chana masala powder may differ depending on the kind and quality of the spices.
Cleaning the spices thoroughly is very important for hygienic reasons.
Always use a clean spoon while taking out masala from jar.
Always use fresh and good quality spices.
