Chaach masala powder or chaas masala powder refers to ground, fragrant spices mixed with other seasonings. It consists of fennel seeds, cinnamon, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and more.
Take a frying pan and heat it on a low flame. Now put 3 tbsp of cumin seeds, 3 tbsp of fennel seeds, ½ tsp cloves, ½ cup curry leaves, ½ tbsp black pepper, 3 medium-sized cinnamon sticks, and ½ tsp of carom seeds in it to dry roast them.
Stir the content until the curry leaves are dry and you can smell the aroma of the roasted spices.
As the color changes, transfer the dry roasted content quickly onto a plate so that the cooking process does not continue. Set it aside to cool off.
When the ingredients are cool enough, transfer them into your grinder.
Now add 1 tsp of mint leaves powder to it.
Add 1 tsp of amchur powder.
Add 2 tsp of black salt.
Add 1 tsp table salt. You may add more or less according to your preference.
Add 1 tsp of coriander powder.
Grind it nicely into a fine powder. Your chaach masala powder is ready.
Use top-quality and fresh spices to make chaach masala powder at home to achieve the best flavor and taste.
Control the heat while roasting the spices so that you do not burn them. Roast them slowly on a low flame. This will prevent the bitter taste of the powder.
Remove the spices from the pan when you smell the aroma of the curry leaves. This indicates that the spices are roasted to perfection.
Allow the hot spices to cool down completely before grinding to prevent clumps in the powder due to condensation. Mind you, the rotating motor of the grinder will generate some heat. Grind the spices to a fine powder but intermittently to avoid heat generation.
Make enough powder to consume within a month or two. Storing it for a longer time will affect the flavor and taste. Always use a fresh and dry spoon to use the masala powder to avoid contamination.
