Chat Masala Recipe - Enjoy the Unique
Flavours of Indian Cuisine

Travel throughout India and South Asia and you're sure to enjoy food delicately spiced with chat masala. A fairly complex blend of sweet and sour ingredients. It's still easy-to-make and can be used to flavour many dishes ranging from curries, meats, stews; and it can even be sprinkled over fruit and drinks.

What You'll Need: (makes about 8-9 tablespoons)

2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp amchoor (ground mango)
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp dried mint
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp kala namak (black salt)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp asafetida powder (hing)

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Grind the peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds
  • Once ground sieve into a bowl
  • Add the amchoor, chili and asafetida powders, kala namak and ground ginger to the bowl and combine
  • Finally, crumble in the dried mint. Combine thoroughly

Store your masala chat in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight. Use within 6 months before rustling up a fresh amount.
