Chaat Masala is a tangy, spicy blend of premium spices, designed to enhance the flavor of a variety of chaat (street food) dishes. With its perfect combination of sour, salty, and spicy notes, it adds a zesty punch to fruit salads, bhel puri, samosas, and more, making it a popular choice for Indian snacks.
Material: A finely ground mixture of high-quality spices, including cumin, coriander, dried mango powder (amchur), black salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ginger. The blend is carefully crafted to create a balance of flavors that is both tangy and savory.
Colour: Light brown with a reddish tint, typically due to the addition of dried mango powder (amchur) and chili powder. The powder has a slightly coarse texture for easy sprinkling.
Pattern: A fine powder that disperses evenly, ensuring consistent flavor in every bite. It has a slightly granular feel, making it perfect for sprinkling on snacks or mixing into dishes.
Usage: Ideal for sprinkling on chaat snacks like bhel puri, dahi puri, sev puri, samosas, and fruit salads. It can also be added to curries, soups, and salads for an extra burst of flavor. Use it during or after cooking to enhance the tangy and spicy elements of your dish.
Benefits: Chaat Masala not only adds a zesty flavor to dishes but also has digestive benefits due to the presence of cumin and other spices. Black salt can aid digestion and provide a cooling effect, while the antioxidants in cumin and coriander support overall health.
Volume: Available in various sizes, such as 50 g, 100 g, and 250 g, in both small home-use packaging and larger bulk options for commercial kitchens.
Care: For best results, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. This will help maintain the freshness and potency of the spices.
