Description

Trudy Ann’s Chana Masala is a blend of various aromatic organic Indian spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, ajwain, dried mango powder, etc. This perfect balance of various spices makes home-cooked meals tastier and brings out their spicy and tangy flavours. You can add my Chana Masala to boiled garbanzo beans and prepare yourself the authentic Indian dish – Chana Masala. It adds a unique flavour to the dish and has a beautiful aroma.
