Chaat Masala
Chaat Masala is a spice blend commonly used in Indian cuisine, particularly in street food and snack items. It is a tangy and savory mixture of various spices, which gives a unique flavor to the dish. The blend typically includes cumin, coriander, ginger, black salt, amchur (dried mango powder), dried mint leaves, and chili powder. The combination of these spices creates a salty, sour, and slightly sweet taste that enhances the flavor of the food it is added to. Chaat Masala is often sprinkled on fruits, vegetables, chaats (Indian street food), and savory snacks like samosas and pakoras. It is a popular seasoning in Indian households and is also available in most grocery stores.
