Chaat masala is the secret ingredient that elevates the taste of Indian snacks. But since the store-bought masalas have preservatives, here’s a chaat masala recipe you can try at home.
2 tbsp cumin seeds 2 tbsp coriander seeds 2-inch piece dry ginger 1 dried red chilli 2 tbsp black peppercorns ½ tsp cloves ½ nutmeg 3 tbsp dried mint leaves ¼ cup dry mango powder (amchur) ½ tsp hing 1 tsp salt
Dry roast coriander seeds till they are slightly brown. Transfer them to a plate.
Roast dry ginger, red chilli, black peppercorns, cloves, and nutmeg until fragrant.
Once cooled, mix and grind all the roasted spices, dried mint leaves, amchur, hing, and salt.
Transfer it into an air-tight container, and your chaat masala will be ready.
