Chaat masala- A very fragrant and delicious spice mix for snacks,salads and chats.
Chaat masala is a multi purpose tangy spicy mix which can be used to make different chaats,salads,raita ,fruit salad etc. Though there are so many brands selling chaat masala in the market but nothing can be compared with your own home made masala.
When we make masala at home we choose best quality ingredients to make it. Hygiene , freshness and quality are guaranteed in home made spices. They are still very reasonable priced as compered to the store brought ones .So try to make your own spice mixes at home when ever possible.
