Chaat Masala (Indian Street Snack Spice Blend) Recipe
- 2 1/2 tablespoons (12g) cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon (5g) coriander seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (4g) fennel seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (3g)
- 1 tablespoon (3g) dried mint
- 1 tablespoon (13g)
- powder
- 1 teaspoon (5g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
- 3 tablespoons (18g)
- 4 1/2 teaspoons (16g)
- 1 teaspoon (2g) whole black peppercorns
- 5 teaspoons (12g)
- (see note)
- 1 teaspoon (2g) ginger powder
- In a dry saute pan over medium heat, working with one spice at a time, toast cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and ajwain until just warm and fragrant, taking care not to burn the seeds. Set each spice aside as it is done.
- In a high-powered blender or spice grinder, or using a mortar and pestle, combine all toasted spices along with dried mint, kala namak, salt, green mango powder, tamarind powder, black peppercorns, chili powder, and ginger powder. Grind to a fine powder. If using a spice grinder with a limited capacity, grind each ingredient in batches, then thoroughly combine in a small mixing bowl.
- Store masala in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. The masala's flavor is best the day after making, once the spices have had a chance to mingle.
