Jain Amritsari Chana

The Amritsari chana's character — the dark masala, the tea-leaf colour, the anardana tang — sits entirely in the spice architecture, not in the onion. Whole Kabuli chana slow-cooked in a root-vegetable-free masala that loses nothing of the Punjab original. Anardana for tartness; ginger juliennes for cut; tea-leaf for colour. A rare find at Jain wedding spreads, ninety seconds from microwave to bowl.

12 months from manufacture, room temperature. Vacuum-sealed in a retort pouch — no preservatives, no added gluten. Once opened, finish in one sitting. Each pouch serves 1–2 people.
