What is it
Haldiram’s Chana Jor Garam is a spicy, crunchy Indian snack made from roasted chickpeas (chana). “Chana” = chickpeas, “jor” = flatten / press, and “garam” = hot/spicy. The chickpeas are soaked, flattened into thin pieces or small flakes, roasted or fried, and then well‑seasoned with a mix of spices. It is eaten as a standalone snack or sometimes mixed into chaats (street‑food style snacks) with onions, lemon juice, coriander etc.
Taste, Texture & Usage
-
Texture: Very crisp and crunchy. The flattening makes the chickpea pieces thin, giving more crisp surface area.
-
Flavour profile: Boldly spiced — spicy (red chilli), tangy (often from mango powder or dry fruit acids), aromatic spices (cumin, ginger, sometimes turmeric), perhaps a hint of sweetness or earthiness depending on the exact spice mix.
-
Usage: Often eaten straight from the pack. People also dress it up with additions like chopped onion, tomato, fresh green chillies, coriander, a squeeze of lemon, chutney to make a quick chaat. It’s popular as an evening snack with tea or for travel.
