Chaat Masala

Chaat Masala

Sour, funky, salty, and aromatic, this is the blend that makes street-food plates taste like street food. Amchur (dried green mango) brings the tang, and black salt (kala namak) adds that unmistakable savory, sulfurous lift. Cumin, coriander, and black pepper give it warmth, while dried mint and ajwain keep it bright and herbal.

How to use it
Sprinkle it over food right before serving, since the flavor is at its brightest when it goes on last. Start with a pinch, taste, and add more. It's salty and sour, so it seasons as it goes.

Try it on:

• Fresh fruit, like mango, pineapple, cucumber, and melon
• Fried snacks, samosas, and papdi chaat
• Potatoes and chickpeas
• Yogurt, raita, and salads
• Any street-food-style plate

Ingredients
Amchur, black salt, cumin, coriander, dried spearmint, black pepper, and ajwain.

These are made in small batches, so availability is always limited and they may take a little extra time.
