For such every day meals, I typically don’t use any special spice mix. Just a few basic home ground spices. But recently, I received a few spice packets from Tata Sampann and decided to give it a go. Chef Sanjeev Kapoor has developed these blends of spices by Tata Sampann. The spices are sourced from the best of the farms and retain the natural spice oils for a blissful sensorial experience. I really liked their packaging. It has multiple pouches, which is a clever idea because opening an entire box of spice mix makes it eventually loose it’s flavor. So, the pouch idea for such a spice mix is quite brilliant.
I have used some of their products and the flavors are quite robust. However, the daal tadka didn’t match my expectations as the taste turned out to be more like sambar then typical tadka daal. When it comes to sandwiches and taco, it’s important to have a good balance of flavor and texture. The creamy chickpea with a simple cucumber-onion-tomato salad and cool yogurt created a great balance. I also poured some ketchup into the yogurt and it added a hint of sweetness.
Chole Bhature will always be my preferred choice but this chole taco has found its place in my list at the very first bite. It’s a perfect way to uplift a simple meal to a fun meal.
