Chana masala or chole, is a tangy chickpea (garbanzo) curry sold by street vendors throughout India, as a snack, main meal, or breakfast. Our SugarRoti Chickpea (Garbanzo) Curry is a delicious, high protein, vegan one-pot Indian curry that can be made in 40 minutes using only 4 fresh ingredients and our SugarRoti Garbanzo Nu Spice. Make this dish vegan by using olive oil instead of ghee (clarified butter).

Enjoy over rice, quinoa, couscous, with a roti (also known as chapati – a round flatbread from India) or by itself.
