Everything the Amritsari chana promises — the tea-darkened masala, the anardana tartness — without touching onion or garlic. Packs cleanly.

· The method
  1. 01
    0:00

    Tear the Jain Amritsari Chana into a pan on medium. Let it bubble lightly — the chana takes more heat than the cream gravies.

  2. 02
    3 min

    Stir half a teaspoon of chaat masala into the pan. Anardana already brings tartness; chaat masala deepens it.

  3. 03
    5 min

    Warm bhature or paratha. For tiffin, Jain paratha holds better than bhature — stays soft.

  4. 04
    7 min

    Grate a thumb of fresh ginger into the chana just before pulling off the heat. Stir through.

  5. 05
    9 min

    Eating now: plate with a folded paratha and a scatter of fine sev. Packing: cool before sealing the tiffin.
