Weekly Specials 7/27 to 8/2
FOCUS THIS WEEK: Cherries!
At home, one of my favorite things to do is make quick Chaats out of bits and pieces of food. The one thing you will need is good Chaat Masala ~ a spice that ties everything together! I have a more detailed breakdown of how to make a Chaat in my book Masala. And yes, you can pick up a copy or a tin at Pondicheri! We also ship nationwide. Chaat masala is mostly composed of amchur, dried pomegranate, cumin, chili and black salt. A hard to match flavor...Here are some ways to use it!
· Toasted peanuts with minced onion, ginger, a generous sprinkle of Chaat masala and plenty of lime juice! This is my go-to midnight snack.
· Sliced mango and avocado topped with Chaat masala. Breakfast?
· Cucumber slices with Chaat masala and a touch of lime juice ~ lovely snack!
· Make popcorn and sprinkle with Chaat masala…movie time!
· Oven roasted potatoes topped with Chaat masala. Yes, the Desi fries at Pondi are dusted with that same Chaat masala. Guilty pleasure…
· Sliced apples topped with Chaat masala ~ a great healthy snack!
You get the idea…enjoy a summer filled with Chaat masala…Click here to order…
