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.
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.
