This popular South Asian dish is widely enjoyed in Pakistan and India, often served as a main course, side dish, or even as a hearty breakfast option.
Aromatic and Spiced to Perfection
The magic of Mehran Chana lies in its flavorful masala, which is made using a combination of traditional spices that enhance the natural taste of chickpeas. The dish is prepared with:
- Mehran Chana Masala – A specially blended mix of spices for authentic taste
- Onions, tomatoes, and green chilies for depth of flavor
- Garlic and ginger paste for a rich, aromatic base
- Cumin, coriander, and turmeric for warmth and earthiness
- Black salt and dry mango powder (amchur) for a tangy kick
- Fresh coriander and lemon juice for garnish and freshness
Cooking Method – Bringing Out the Best Flavors
To prepare Mehran Chana, soaked and boiled chickpeas are simmered in a spiced tomato and onion gravy until they absorb all the flavors. The slow-cooking process ensures a thick, flavorful curry with a perfect balance of spice, tang, and richness. The dish can be prepared with or without gravy, depending on preference.

Mehran Chana pairs wonderfully with puri (fried bread), paratha, naan, or steamed rice. It is also a fantastic topping for chaat or served as a protein-rich filling in wraps and sandwiches. A side of yogurt, salad, and pickles further enhances its taste.
