“Chat Masala Powder” is one of the most popular and vibrant spice blends in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its tangy, spicy, and slightly salty kick. Made from a unique mix of spices such as dried mango powder (amchur), roasted cumin, black salt (kala namak), black pepper, coriander, and dried ginger, this masala is the secret behind the flavour of Indian street foods and snacks.
