Home Made Chaat Masala

The one flavor that most Indian snacks, street foods, salads and fried foods rely on their instant zing which comes from the chaat masala. Chaat Masala is an Indian spice mix which is zingy, tangy and slightly hot. Home Made Chaat Masala is mostly used as a garnish on salads, Chaats, drinks, curries, daals, Sandwiches and wraps.

There are a few variations to this spice mix. Everyone has their own recipe. Some add coriander seeds, some add fennel seeds. This is my Mother-In-Laws recipe. She doesn’t prefer to add coriander seeds and fennel seeds.

Good Pre-Blended and packaged chaat masalas are always available in Indian grocery store, but making Home Made Chaat Masala is always a preferred option for freshness. Believe me it’s so so easy, hardly take 5 to 10 minutes. This Home Made Chaat Masala can stored in an air tight container up to months at room temperature or in refrigerator.
