Chana masala · Manchester

Manchester's adopted-via-Curry-Mile chickpea curry: warm tomato base, ginger, garlic, garam masala, finished with fresh coriander. Found at almost every rice-and-three counter in the city.

Chana masala arrived in Manchester with the Pakistani migrants who shaped Wilmslow Road's Curry Mile from the 1970s. This and That on Soap Street has served it as one of the three rotating curries in the rice-and-three lineup since 1984; today it's the most-ordered plate at the counter. Manchester's vegan crowd adopted it; Bundobust and Lily's keep the Gujarati and Punjabi variants alive across the city's vegetarian rooms.
