Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to add extra spices when using Shan Chana Masala?

No. This is a complete spice blend. You only need basic base ingredients like onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and cooking oil. The mix contains all the necessary salt, sourness and heat for the dish.

Is this spice mix very hot?

It has a moderate heat level typical of traditional Punjabi cooking. If you prefer a milder dish, use less of the spice mix or stir in a spoonful of plain yoghurt or cream at the end of cooking to soften the spice.

Can I use canned chickpeas instead of boiling dried ones?

Yes. Canned chickpeas work perfectly and save hours of soaking and boiling time. Simply drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well before adding them to your cooked masala base.

Is Shan Chana Masala suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. The blend consists entirely of ground, plant-based spices and contains no animal-derived products, making it fully suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets.
