Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried mango powder (amchur)

  4. Store: Transfer the chaat masala to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. This spice blend can be kept for up to six months, retaining its flavor and aroma.

Notes

  • Adjust Spices: You can adjust the amount of red chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon for a unique twist.
