Purani Dilli Chole Masala — Old Delhi Tradition, No Fillers

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.
