Chaat Masala

I like to make mine from just 4 ingredients so that I can savor each individual ingredient's flavor instead of the store brand which has a TON of stuff !

- 1-2 Dry Red chilli ( Add more if you like it hot, less if you can't tolerate heat. You can use any variety available like cayenne pepper but make sure it is DRIED ie it shouldn't just be non-wet but sun dried kind of dried)
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds

Roast all the spices in a nonstick pan on the stove. Turn off and remove from heat once they're fragrant. Let cool completely and then grind to a fine powder. This powder will stay fresh for upto 6 months if stored in a dry tightly closed container.
