Jenish Multi Masala

Zingy, tangy, slightly hot Chaat masala is the perfect seasoning! It gets its distinctive flavor from the black salt used to make it. Though often used as a spice in cooking, Chaat Masala is mostly used as a garnish on salads, Chaats (a generic name for hot, tangy, sweet nibbles), drinks (like Indian lemonade!), curries, daals etc. I adore Chaat Masala and as a child, could often be found with some in the cupped palm of my hand (hiding it from my Mother) so I could dip bits of raw mango in it! This recipe for Chaat Masala makes just under 1 cup of the masala, so multiply the ingredients if you need more.
