Sometimes used as a spice in cooking chaat masala is most commonly sprinkled as a garnish on salads chaats (savory Indian snacks) drinks such as Indian lemonade and meals such as curries and dals.

Chaat masala contains some of the same spices as well as dried mango powder black salt and other spices and is sprinkled over finished dishes and used to garnish chaat (savory snacks).
