We partnered with Nik Sharma to bring this California-inspired Chaat Masala spice blend to life.
In our blend, the traditional elements of Chaat Masala – funky, salty, smoky and tangy – come together with notes of dill and omani lime for a Golden State twist.
Chaat Masala is essential for seasoning chaat – Indian snack foods that combine spicy, sweet, and sour flavors with a multitude of textures.
It’s also delicious on beans, grilled meats, seafood, and veggies.
Our California Chaat Masala gets its savory, sulfurous aroma from kala namak – Indian black salt – and its tangy notes from amchoor, dried unripe mango.
Net weight: 2 oz.
Hand-mixed from: Kala namak salt, black cumin, coriander, ajwain, black pepper, amchoor, ginger, Kashmiri chile, smoked paprika, dill weed, asafoetida, omani lime and cloves.
Need a shaker top? We suggest one with small holes. Don't forget to add one to your cart!

"I don’t even live in the country anymore, but whenever I’m back in Oakland I stop by the spice shop...everyone is always so helpful, they were super sweet this last time and offered my toddler a cinnamon stick to suck on while I shopped. I highly recommend a visit, it’s always an inspiration! :)"

"I live for this salt. I give it as a gift. I put it on vegetables, in soup, in salad dressings...sometimes I just have a taste on its own. Don't even get me started about what it does to eggs, beans and avocado. Seriously... this is the best seasoning I've ever used. It's replaced salt & pepper at our house. NO REGRETS."

"As the bottom of the bottle nears, the kitchen larder calls for more. Better Than Everything Bagel Spice is now a required staple in our cozy northern kitchen."
