MDH Chana Masala 100g

My favorite Indian seasoning brand

Trying to increase beans in my diet and this helps a ton.I meal prep using the following:Sautee 1 large onion and 2 Serrano peppers until brown. Add one 15 oz can crushed tomatoes (I used fire roasted). Add 40 g MDH seasoning and big pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 min then blend with an immersion blender. Add in 2 cans of chickpeas (drained & rinsed). Simmer for 15-20 min. Makes 4-6 servings. Serve with basmati rice.Delicious!

I made the recipe on the box a couple times and it's great.

Delicious! However, I would recommend NOT ordering with any heavy items. I ordered mine at the same time as a bottle of mouth wash and it arrived packaged with the MDH, which got pulverized. Upon opening, the entire package of spice poured out of the box and onto the floor! I ordered a second box and loved the dish!

I used to live in Southern California and was able to purchase this same pre-mixed Chana Masala spice packet from a nearby grocer. I have since moved to Florida and we don't have the same accessibility to foods from south east Asia in our neck of the woods as we did in California.I used to make huge pots of chana masala, serve it with naan (also purchased from the same grocer), and have the neighbors over. I think oaky Chardonnays go well with chana masala. So I was craving this experience one Sunday afternoon here in humid Florida. I ordered the spice and it arrived on a Thursday. I went to Publix and bought a ton of red onions, tomatoes, butter, and naan (yeah, I was surprised that they had naan, too).The dish I made did not come out the same. It could be user error--perhaps I lost the touch. But I also remember this spice packet being hotter, with more vibrant flavors. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't what I expected either.

I used this for a chick pea dish and it was great

So easy to use. I used the recipe on the box but substituted a 28 oz can of whole tomatoes with juice for two chopped tomatoes and used less water. We live far from an Indian restaurant. This little box is a game changer for us! The depth of flavor as it cooks is amazing. It’s got a little kick to it, which I love. Buy with confidence and enjoy!

It's a tasty blend of spices, but it has a lot more hot pepper than other mixes I've tried. Not a problem for chile-heads like me, but by the time I get as much spice flavor as I want, this stuff has turned the gravy into enough of a capsaicin bomb that it makes tears well up in the eyes of my only moderately heat-tolerant husband.
