Chana Plate 6.5oz

This was a surprisingly satisfying small plate. The chickpeas had warm spices and a little acidity, so it tasted lively rather than heavy.

What stood out was the seasoning. It had that familiar Bengali savory-spicy taste, and the fresh onion on top kept every bite from feeling too heavy.

The flavor reminded me of the chana you get at small snack shops in Bangladesh. A little spicy, a little tangy, and very satisfying with tea.

This tasted simple in the best way. The chana had enough spice to wake up the flavor, but it still felt like everyday Bengali comfort food rather than something overly restaurant-style.

I liked that the chickpeas were tender without turning mushy. The seasoning had a nice mix of heat, salt and tang, and the onion gave it the freshness I expect from a proper chana plate.

The first bite felt very familiar—soft chickpeas, warm spice, onion and that little tang that makes Bengali chana so addictive. It reminded me of having a quick snack with tea back home.
