Description
The Zesty & Crunchy Sound of Indian Streets
Travel to the bustling streets of India with every bite of Haldiram’s Chana Jor Garam 200g. This iconic and nostalgic “namkeen” (savory snack), from the legendary Haldiram’s brand and available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, is a unique and incredibly addictive treat. It’s made from black chickpeas (kala chana) that are cooked, flattened into small discs, and then fried or roasted until crispy, before being tossed in a mouth-watering blend of tangy and spicy masalas.
A Unique Snack Experience
“Chana Jor Garam” (which translates to “hot and strong chickpeas”) is a classic snack often sold by street vendors in paper cones. Its appeal lies in its unique combination of texture and flavor.
- Crispy, Not Puffy: Unlike roasted chickpeas, the flattening process gives Chana Jor Garam a distinct, flaky crispiness that is incredibly satisfying to crunch on.
- Tangy & Spicy “Chatpata” Flavour: Haldiram’s seasons this snack with a classic “chatpata” masala blend, featuring tangy notes from amchur (dry mango powder), a savory kick from black salt (kala chana), and warmth from chilli and other spices.
- A Taste of Nostalgia: For many, this snack is a cherished taste of childhood and the lively atmosphere of Indian street food culture.
- Wholesome & Protein-Rich: Made from black chickpeas, it’s a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, making it a more wholesome choice than many other fried snacks.
- Trusted Haldiram’s Quality: Haldiram’s ensures that this traditional snack is prepared hygienically and with high-quality ingredients, delivering a consistent and delicious experience every time.
A Swedish Connection?
While there’s no direct equivalent, you can think of Haldiram’s Chana Jor Garam as a more exotic and flavorful cousin to Swedish roasted fava beans (rostade bondbönor) or other seasoned, crunchy snacks. Imagine a crispy, savory snack, but instead of just salt, it’s bursting with the tangy, zesty, and aromatic spices of India!
How to Enjoy Your Chana Jor Garam
This ready-to-eat snack is perfect as it is, but for an authentic street-style experience:
- Toss it with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, and fresh coriander.
- Squeeze a generous amount of fresh lemon or lime juice over the top.
- Enjoy it as a standalone snack with your evening tea, as a crunchy topping for salads, or as a component in a Bhel Puri mix.
