8 g1 tablespoon
Commercial spice blend bulk density about 0.5 g/ml; 1 tsp about 2.5 g.
Instead of Channa masala
No exact match; channa masala is a specific chole blend, so use the closest masala and adjust tang and heat.
Lentil stew spice mixUse 75% of the weight; it is tangy and South Indian in style. Add a little garam masala if the dish needs more warmth.
Garam masalaUse 50% of the weight and add amchoor or lime juice for tang. It gives warmth but not the full chole-style masala profile.
Parsi curry spice mixUse 75% of the weight; it is complex and slightly sweet-sour. Taste before adding salt, as profiles vary.
