- Add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder, black pepper, black salt, caraway seeds, chili powder, and cloves to the pan.
- Dry roast the spices for a few minutes until they become fragrant. Stir them occasionally to prevent burning.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the spices cool down.
Step 2: Grinding the Spices
- Once the roasted spices have cooled, transfer them to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- Add dry ginger powder, dry mango powder, nutmeg powder, rock salt, kachri powder (if using), dried mint leaves (if using), and pomegranate seeds (if using) to the grinder.
- Grind all the ingredients together until you achieve a fine powder. Make sure to grind the spices thoroughly to ensure a well-blended chaat masala.
Notes
- Transfer the freshly ground chaat masala to an airtight container.
- Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Properly stored, it can last for several months.
- Use your homemade chaat masala to enhance the flavors of snacks, street foods, salads, fruits, and refreshing beverages like lemonade, soda, or buttermilk.
