Chaat Masala

The word 'chaat/chat' means ‘to lick’ and the word ‘masala’ means spice in Hindi. Generally, the word chaat is used for a collection of savoury and highly spicy snacks that make you lick /smack your lips, sort of 'finger licking' good! Chaat is traditionally sold by street hawkers in India and comes under a group of foods known as 'Indian Street Foods'.
‘Chaat masala’ is used to spice up many such snacks. It can also be used to spice up fruit salads and vegetable salads and some curries. Just sprinkle 1-2 tsp. on your fruit/vegetable salad, squeeze a little lemon juice, mix thoroughly and enjoy!

You can make this masala in advance and store it in a jar. Most people buy it ready made these days, sold in packets. Ready made one is quite good and very often used by professional chefs.

Ingredients
•2 tbs. cumin seeds
•2 tbs. whole, dry red chillies
•2 tbs. coriander seeds
•1 tbs. black pepper, whole or ground. Whole gives better flavour.
•2 tbs. black salt or kala-namak. If you can't get it, use rock salt or ordinary salt
•1 tbs. ordinary table salt
•1/2 tsp. citric acid powder
•1 tbs. dry mango powder or amchoor
•1 tbs. ginger powder
•1 tbs. Garam Masala
•1/2 tsp. hing or heeng or asafoetida powder

Instructions
1.Dry roast cumin seeds on a girdle or tawa until browned and an aroma rises. You will know when you smell it! Keep aside
2.Lightly roast coriander seeds and keep aside.
3.Lightly roast red chillies and keep aside. Chillies burn very quickly, so be careful!
4.Place all ingredients in a grinder and grind to a powder.
5.Keep in an airtight jar.
