Chat Masala - spice mix
for chaats
Also for salads, juices
and snacks
Chat Masala
(also spelt as chaat masala) is one common spice mix that
is used in chaats such as Aloo
chaat, papri chaat, fruit chaat, samosa chaat. It is
easy to make at home. If you have it ready, it is a good
addition to many juices, salads, fruit snacks, vegetable snacks,
vegetable curries etc. Just sprinkle it on top or mix it.
It contains black salt which is a good
digestive and is very
tasty too. Just put a pinch of chat masala on your
tongue when your tongue feels kind of tasteless and you want a good
taste in your mouth.
In the recipe given below, I am using the whole spices as they give
a good flavor. If you have the spice powders ready with you, you may
mix them to get the masala.
