Homemade Masala Chat
This is my favourite spice mix which uses some seldom used spices. It's extremely versatile and can be used in drinks, sprinkled on fresh fruit or used to flavour meats, stews and curries.
Makes about 8 tbsp
3 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tbsp mango powder (amchoor)
1 tbsp black salt (kala namak)
1 tbsp anardana seeds (pomegranate seeds) (optional)
4 tsp dried mint
2 tsp ajwain seeds
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp asafetida powder
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Directions:
- Grind both salts along with peppercorns, ajwain, cumin and if using, the anardana seeds
- Once ground, add to a bowl
- Stir in the ground mango, asafetida, ginger and chili powders
- Finally, crumble in the dried mint. Combine once more
That's all there is to it!
Note: You could dry toast the peppercorns and cumin seeds before grinding. This really brings out their flavours and aromas!

How to Toast and Grind
Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...
Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.
Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.
Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
