    Title: Chaat Masala
    Categories: Indian, Spices
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 tb Cumin seeds
    1 ts Coriander seeds
    1/2 ts Fennel seeds
    1/2 ts Dried mint
    2 ts Black salt (kala namak)
    1 tb Mango (amchoor) powder
    1/2 ts Black pepper; preferably
    - whole
    1 ts Kashmiri chili powder
    1/2 ts Ginger powder

    Roast cumin, coriander, and fennel one after another in a pan until
    they turn slightly more brown.

    Combine roasted seeds with other spices and grind to a fine powder in
    a spice grinder or something similar.

    Notes:

    This recipe is supposed to include asafoetida powder, but I didn't
    have any, so I may update it at a later date.

    Roasting the seeds is always better, but it will work with pre-ground
    spices as well.

    Put the roasted spices along with other items into dry coffee grinder
    or spice grinder and blitz to a fine powder.
