Shan - Chaat Masala Seasoning Mix (100g) - Spice Packets for Tangy and Spicy Garnish

Was craving indian chaat. This masala worked perfectly. I used these ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas (rinsed), half-1 medium boiled potato, 2 tbsp diced tomato, 2 tbsp chopped onions, 1-2 tbsp chopped cilantro, half tsp concentrated tamarind paste, a bit of salt, half-1 tsp cumin powder, half-1 tsp kashmiri red chilli powder and 1 tsp of this chaaat masala. A bit of sweetened yogurt thinned with water as topping. Perfect sweet, salty, tart, filing and healthy snack.

Here is my recipe: 1. Pour some olive oil into a cup — one or two teaspoons. 2. Add 2–4 oz of roasted almonds. 3. Mix until every almond is coated with oil. 4. Add Chaat Masala. 5. Mix again until every almond is coated with the seasoning. 6. Enjoy your cocktail with the snack.

I live where Chaat Masala is at least a 50 mile drive away. So when found it referenced in a new cookbook, the easiest way to get was this purchase. Just enough and price is right. The product is as promised. What I didn't expect is the salt content which is more than I usually use. But, at least I know what Chaat Masala is now, and can use it judiciously.

I love this spice. Perfectly delicious on okra fries w/a squeeze of lime!!!

It came in good condition, usable for over a year with expiration date and taste great. Thank you. I highly recommend to buy, if you are looking for great taste, this is it!

Contrary to the allergy warning on the box "May contain traces of sulphite" this actually has a distinctly sulphurous odor and flavor. Maybe it will cook out when used in a hot dish, but as a post cooking seasoning this is a good deal less than amazing.

I prefer Shan products

This brand never disappoints! Great quality!

Mauvais produit reçus mais le service client à était au top' ils m'ont renvoyé le bon produit très rapidement et se sont excusés. J'ai même eu droit à un petit cadeau. Je suis très contente. Je commanderai de nouveau.

Good as described

very good and taste is always same and good

This is sooo nice and delicious. It tastes exactly like the chat masala I've made at home (from the book Vegan Richa's Indian kitchen) which involved lots of tempering, toasting and grinding. Too much drama when you can just buy this! Also, when I made my own chat masala, some moisture crept in unfortunately so it only lasted about a week in the cupboard. No such problems here! I didn't have all the ingredients for an aloo chat when this turned up, but eager to sample it, I improvised and made the dish you see in the picture - a dry potato curry with mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, garlic and coriander leaf, plus two level tbsp of this chat masala. I used cornflour to give it a delightful crispiness. I'm probably violating all sorts of Indian culinary norms but it tasted nice, sooo... It's super cheap too... I will definitely buy again!

An authentic product, well packaged and swiftly despatched.
