MDH Chana Masala 100g

Order received in good shape and on time. I am just starting to experiment with new Indian flavors and this blend is a lovely, and lively combination.

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!

A great spice mix! I bought it to make a Chana Masala recipe and it tuned out wonderful. The spices seemed very fresh. I was surprised to see that the item came directly from India. It came in a small box, which was packaged with great care - there were several pieces of Styrofoam, bubble wrap and tape around the box :) It was a bit funny, knowing that that the item within was really not that fragile. It took a little while for it to get here, but it was worth the wait. I highly recommend the product and will be ordering more in the future.

This has a metallic taste out of the box, and apparently contains salt. The effect on my recipe was all good, however. It makes a very tasty chole masala (1T) when with 1T coriander powder, 1/2T cumin powder, 2T chili powder, 1/2t hing, 1/2t turmeric, and 1t fenugreek leaves, and 1/2T sweetened condensed milk. I finish off with some cilantro and a small squeeze of lime juice at serving time. The trick is to start the dry spices in the hot oil for a short time, but be careful to avoid burning.

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!

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!

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.
