Chaat Masala is the quintessential Indian spice blend.

'Chaat' means 'to lick' and 'masala' means 'spice' in Hindi, therefore the word 'chaat masala' means a collection of hot and tangy spices.

Chaat Masala is a tangy Indian condiment that enhances the flavor of tandoori kebabs, salads, fruits, grilled fish and meat, legumes, potatoes and curries. It is pretty much an all purpose Indian seasoning. Chaat Masala can be added either before or after cooking or used in place of salt.

The spice blend of organic chaat masala consists of amchoor (dried mango powder), cumin, salt (ofen rock salt), coriander, dried ginger, black pepper, asafoetida (hing) and chilli powder. The abundace of dreid mango powder, asafoetida and black salt differentiates chaat masala from other masalas, giving the blend a sourness that makes it a delectable accompaniment for so many different dishes.
