Chaat Masala Recipe - Prepare homemade chaat masala powder with proper chaat masala ingredients that will add taste to your dishes. People love to sprinkle on chaat and fried snacks.

What is Chaat Masala?

Chaat masala is the most popular and famous spice mix of the sub-continent especially in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. People use chaat masala powder to make their food more tasty and spicy. Normally it sprinkles over chaat and other street food snacks.

Traditionally chaat masala recipe is so simple and easy but the accurate amount of spices to add in masala is more important to create taste. Normally it comprises roasted masala spice with the addition of tatri or mango powder that makes it more special in taste.

Homemade is the best...

Pakistani, Indian, and Bangladeshi street food especially the variety of chaat is incomplete without the addition of chaat masala.
