Chaat Masala

Chaat Masala

Chaat Masala (चाट मसाला) is a spice powder mix which is mostly used as a garnish on salads, snacks and fruits. It typically consists of amchoor powder, black salt and heeng. Street vendors usually mix their own chat masala. Today I deliver here homemade chat masala.

Chaat masala

This chaat masala consists of coriander seeds, cumin seeds, red chilli, black salt, amchoor powder, black peppercorn and so many basic Indian spices. Firstly ground spices are roasted well and then grinded with other remaining spices to make a fine powder. Sprinkle this chaat masala over aloo tikki chaat, pakodas, cutlets, rolls, paneer tikka and your favorite snacks. 



Ingredients:

2 tsp. Black Salt 
1 tsp. Salt   
2 tbsp. Coriander seeds 
1 tbsp. Cumin seeds 
1 tbsp. Black pepper 
2 tbsp. Dry mango powder 
5-6 Dry red chilli 
1/4 tsp. Citric acid 
a small pinch Heeng 

Instructions: 

Dry roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper and red chilli all together over low heat until they are aromatic. It takes 2-3 minutes. Then remove from heat.


When they completely cool down, combine all the ingredients into a grinder.


Grind all the spices into a fine powder. Keep in an airtight jar.


Tips:

  • Make sure to use your homemade chaat masala up within 2-3 months, as the ingredients will lose their aroma.
  • Store in an airtight glass container and cool, dry place.
