Scored as a condiment: nutrition is judged on what a 2 g serving delivers — a typical single use — not on the per-100g figures, which describe a quantity of this product nobody eats. The per-100g panel is still shown in full below.
Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This spice blend offers a good balance of flavor from its mixed spices, amla, and fenugreek leaves, with the added benefit of iodized salt for iodine fortification. While the product contains salt as a primary ingredient, as is typical for a masala, its use in small serving sizes means the sodium contribution per meal is generally manageable for most healthy adults.

Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for food. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Saturated fat 0.9 g · trans fat 0.1 g per 100 g/ml
1 concern could not be assessed from this label. That means we don't know — not that there's nothing to find.
What's good
Contains iodized salt, contributing to essential iodine intake.
Rich in natural spices and botanicals like amla and fenugreek leaves, offering flavor and potential health benefits.
Suitable for use as a condiment in small quantities, limiting overall sodium intake per serving.
Watch out for
Contains multiple forms of salt (Iodized Salt, Black Salt), so individuals on sodium-restricted diets should monitor intake carefully.
Decode Label Analysis
The ingredient 'Acidity Regulator' is not specifically identified, which reduces transparency. While generally safe, individuals with specific sensitivities to food additives may wish to exercise caution.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The claim 'Aroma Locked' refers to a processing or packaging method that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The product name identifies it as Punjabi Chole Masala, and the ingredients are consistent with a spice blend for chole.
The nutrition information states that the product contains 0.9g of saturated fat per 100g.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Colour shows the per-100g level (green = low, amber = moderate, red = high), from the product's label. This is a condiment — used by the pinch or the spoonful, not eaten by the plate — so a red row here means the product is dense in that nutrient, not that a serving of it is. The score judges its nutrition on what a 2 g serving actually delivers.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
