Tips and questions
- What can I use instead of chaat masala?
- Use a little extra lime and roasted cumin with a pinch of chilli powder; you lose the sulphur note of black salt but it is still good.
- What do I serve it with?
- It cools down curries, biryani, dal and tandoori dishes, and goes well with raita and naan.
