<p>Chaat masala is something you&#8217;ll find in every Indian kitchen around the world. It&#8217;s a blend of sightly savory, aromatic, and tangy spices that can add a lot of flavor to your dishes with just a pinch. It is most commonly sprinkled on chaat (savory Indian snacks) like fruit chaat, papdi chaat, and bhelpuri. Chaat masala is not only restricted to Indian street food but it can also be used to enhance the flavors of raita, pulao and other Indian curries.</p>
<p>My recipe is one I&#8217;ve been making for so many years now, but you can always experiment with the ratios of the spices and adjust them according to your own taste. So if you haven&#8217;t tried making your own chaat masala at home, it&#8217;s time you do!</p>
