Picture a bowl of sliced potatoes, mixed fruits, curd, sprouts or simple paneer slices, what would make it better is a dash of chaat masala sprinkled on top, don’t you agree? Spicy, tantalising chaat masala is one condiment that can spruce up almost all your meals, and it has been doing so since time immemorial. We have been noshing up plates of fruit chaats since years now and we cannot be thankful to the utterly delicious chaat masala to liven it up. Especially for those picky eaters who would never eat the fruits or greens. I remember how my mother juiced everything from spinach to karela together, sprinkled some chaat masala and a teaspoon of lemon juice to it and tricked me into drinking it.
The point is everything is better with a dash of chaat masala. But there’s one rule my mother swears by, to make it fresh at home. Yes, you can make chaat masala at home, it works as a great alternative to store-bought chaat masalas. The natural flavours and aroma of homemade chaat masala is sure to get you slurping. Beside, when you make anything at home, you are in complete control of the quality and quantity of each ingredient. And a free hand at experimentation!
