Chaat masala (Hindi चाट मसाला; also spelled chat masala) is a masala, or spice mix, used in Indian cuisine. It typically consists of: * amchoor (dried mango powder) * cumin * kala namak * coriander * dried ginger * salt * black pepper * asafoetida * chili powder The ingredients are combined and served on a small metal plate or a banana leaf, dried and formed into a bowl, at chaat carts (especially in Gujarat, Maharastra, and across Northern and even Southern India).
