Everest Cholle Masala 100 gm

Everest Chole Masala 100?g — what it is, what it contains, and how it is typically used.

?? What is Everest Chole Masala

Everest Chole Masala is a ready?made spice mix / masala powder designed specifically for preparing “chole” (chickpea curry) and other chickpea?based dishes.

It’s described by the manufacturer as “an exquisite blend of 24 pure spices,” giving the distinctive flavour, aroma and colour typical of North?Indian/Punjabi?style chole.

??? Spice Blend & Ingredients (Typical)

The blend inside the masala contains a variety of spices and flavour agents, roughly including:

Coriander

Cumin

Dry mango (amchur) or dry mango powder (for tanginess)

Red chili / chilli powder / other forms of chilli for heat & colour

Turmeric

Cloves, cinnamon (cassia), cassia leaf — for warmth and depth

Dry ginger, fennel — for aroma

Black pepper, black cardamom — for pungency/depth

Asafoetida (hing) / other digestive?aid spices

Tamarind or tamarind extract (or other souring agents) / dry mango powder — for mild tang

Black salt / common salt — for seasoning

Other aromatic herbs/spices (varies slightly) to create the characteristic chole flavour.

Because of this mix, the masala is rich, complex — combining spicy, tangy, warm, and aromatic notes.

?? What It’s Used For

Primarily used for cooking:

Chole / Chana Masala — the classic North?Indian chickpea curry made with onions, tomatoes, boiled chickpeas, and this spice mix.
Variations with peas or mixed legumes/chickpeas + vegetables — whenever you want a “chole?style” flavour.

The masala helps create the rich gravy, deep colour, tangy & spicy flavour and aroma typical of restaurant?style chole — without needing to separately measure and combine many dry spices.

It’s useful for quick cooking because you don’t have to prepare spice mixes from scratch each time — just add the powder during cooking.

? Why People Use It — Advantages

Convenience & Time?saving: All key spices blended in one packet — no need to store or measure multiple individual spices each time.

Consistent Flavour: Since the mix is standardized, you’re likely to get a similar taste every time you make chole or similar dishes.

Balanced & Well?rounded Taste: The blend provides the right balance of spice, tang, heat, and aroma, making the dish flavourful, authentic and restaurant?style.

Good for Beginners: If you’re new to Indian cooking or don’t keep a full spice cabinet, using a ready masala simplifies the process — you just need chickpeas, onions/tomatoes and basic ingredients.

?? Typical Usage / How to Cook with It

Here’s a general, simple method (commonly suggested) to use Everest Chole Masala for a chickpea curry:

Soak kabuli chana (chickpeas) overnight, then cook/pressure?cook until soft.

In a pan, heat some oil ? sauté chopped onions until golden brown ? add tomatoes (or tomato puree), ginger/garlic (optional) and sauté till soft.

Add 1 tbsp Everest Chole Masala (for ~250–300?g cooked chickpeas) and fry for a minute or two on low flame.

Add the boiled chickpeas and water as required ? simmer 5–10 minutes so flavors combine and gravy thickens.

Garnish with fresh coriander, optionally squeeze lemon — serve hot with bhatura, puri, rice or roti.
