Chaat Masala (Chaat)

One flavour that most snacks rely on for their zip is chaat masala. Chaat masala is a spice blend consisting of black salt, chilli powder, cumin seeds and dry mango powder. That is why traditional combinations are home ground and kept ready for use. There are as many recipes for chaat masala as there are households in India, but this one is a personal favourite! Store this masala in an air-tight container.
