Chaat masala's distinct taste is due to its unique ingredients especially the black salt which has a sulfurous aroma. This characteristic taste might be an acquired one for those unfamiliar with it but it's a beloved flavor enhancer in many South Asian dishes. When using chaat masala it's a good idea to add a little at a time and taste as you go since it's quite potent.Sprinkled on Fruits: In South Asia it's common to sprinkle chaat masala on fruits especially tropical ones like mango pineapple and watermelon to enhance their flavor with a tangy kick. Beverages: Some beverages like the popular chilled spiced drink "jaljeera" use chaat masala as a flavoring. It's also sometimes added to fresh fruit juices or lassis for a tangy twist. Salads: Light salads made with cucumber tomato onion and boiled potatoes can be seasoned with chaat masala for a tangy flavor.
