Chaat Masala

Zingy, tangy, slightly hot, Chaat Masala is an Indian spice mix that helps in adding an extra boost of flavor to a variety of dishes. This powdery spice is a distinctive flavor from black salt. Sometimes it is also used as a spice in cooking, and it is often sprinkled as a garnish on salads, chaats, drinks like lemonade, and meals like curries and dals.

Some of the spices go by different names, and they either might be used on the packaging; for helping you when shopping, and the common names are included in the ingredient list. The surprising thing about Chaat Masala is that, unlike many other spice powders, it has a long list of ingredients, or can also be made of just a few, everyday ingredients available in every kitchen. It is perhaps the combination of some common spices with black salt that gives it all the zing to be as it is.
