Bring home the rich flavors of Old Delhi with Purani Dilli Chole Masala. Made with pure spices and no fillers for an authentic, aromatic chole experience.The Old Delhi chole masala — no onion, no garlic, no shortcuts.

Purani Dilli chole is its own beast — almost-black in colour, deep with anardana sourness, made famous by the lanes around Chandni Chowk. The traditional Old Delhi version uses no onion and no garlic — proof that you don't need them when the masala carries the dish.

Our blend follows that tradition: carom seed, anardana (pomegranate seed), dried mango, degi mirch, red chilli, black peppercorn, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cloves, cardamom. Anardana is the hero — sour, tannic, dark. Without it, "chole masala" is just a generic curry powder.

Nothing else hides in the bag — no fillers, no preservatives, no artificial colour, no MSG, no "and other spices." The ingredient panel on the back is the whole list.

Use 2-3 tbsp per 2 cups of soaked chickpeas. Pairs traditionally with bhature, kulche, or steamed basmati rice. Top with sliced raw onion, ginger julienne, and a wedge of lemon.
