I don't mind a little bit of bite in the Spice So there it is and that goes In There [Music] It smells so good Oh I love fennel and I love cumin I love All spices extremely honestly That is looking pretty good now I'm Going to add the rest of the spices Um quarter teaspoon of Hing or Asafoetida this is the only spice In here that you can skip all the rest Of the spices are quite important but if You don't have Hing or can't find Hing That is something you can skip Um one of the key spices in here is the Black salt Which actually will give you that Um Kind of [Music] Um Fresh Sharpness and also got a Sour note to it which is So lovely With the saltiness of course because It's the salt quarter teaspoon of black Pepper Ground black pepper and quarter teaspoon Of ground ginger It's the most important
Spice in the Chaat Masala is amchur so I've got two good Heap tablespoons of Amjuring there which is dried mango Powder and now I'm gonna give it a quick Mix Now this sort of quantity would easily Last me A month And I'm just going to transfer it to a Clean Dry jar So here it is Delicious My mouth is watering just smelling that Because it's really kind of a magical Spice mix I have to say Um Like I said don't add it to absolutely Everything Just like every other spice you have to Be careful what you're using it with but I'm gonna make a very quick lunch right Now and I'm going to show you how I'm Using this today but if you want the Written recipe for this and some other Street Foods then cha-chart and Chutney Is your friend Going back on my shelf and I'm just Going to clear this up and make a very Very quick lunch So I'm just using the same pan as I used For dry roasting the Spices and I've added two tablespoons of Oil I'm using sunflower oil
Just let bring it up to heat And in the meantime I'm just gonna Roughly chop this one onion one salt Goes in a teaspoon of cumin seeds Let them sizzle and just if you have any Curry leaves at home otherwise you can Skip it this is optional I'm going to add the Onion this literally is a very very Quick lunch it's my working lunch today Just gonna give it five minutes until it Starts to turn golden in the meantime I'm just gonna chop up one red pepper The onions have started to soften up And we're just beginning to get some Color so I'm going to add in the Red pepper And give it another five minutes And in that time I'm just gonna chop up Four spring onions So I'm just adding the whites of the Spring onions And I've got the greens left over Just give it four to five minutes On medium Heat Just going to Open Drain and rinse a tin of chickpeas which Is 400 grams So in goes the thin chickpeas I'm going to increase the heat to high Mix And again give it five minutes Now it's hard time to kind of crisp up
The bottoms there look at that I'm gonna add the spices Now salt here will be to taste so I'm Gonna add three four depending on how Much rice you have Should be enough 10 and half a teaspoon Of turmeric powder half a teaspoon of Chili powder and now the star of the Show chat masala So I'm gonna add a good Two teaspoons Of Chaat Masala to this Give it a mix Oh amazing Now add in the greens of the spring Onions Reduce the Heat I'm just adding some leftover rice So it's straight from the fridge And which is fine So this this much would be enough for Two or three people actually So all that's left to do is Give it a good mix And I would just cook this on High heat for a couple of minutes just To warm the rice through fully And that really is it for our quick Delicious lunch now whenever I use a Chat Masala in my recipes you cannot say Um oh I don't have that what can I use Because now you can make it at home Stock it up Um this lovely
