This instant chana pulao combines fluffy basmati rice with chickpeas and aromatic spices for a gently warming, savoury flavour. It’s a handy option when you want something more interesting than plain rice, without spending time on seasoning and simmering.

- Fast to serve (about 3 minutes), useful when you need a warm meal without cooking rice from scratch
- Convenient pantry staple for work lunches, dorm kitchens, or quick family sides

🍽️ How to use
