Buy Chaat Masala
Chaat Masala is a spice powder mix used in the most delicious snack food around the Indian subcontinent. It has a tangy sour and salty flavour, which perfectly complements most sweet and spicy indian appetizers, many of which are heavily centred around potatoes, tomatoes and fried dough. In India, Chaat masala is also often used for dressing chopped fruit, salads, egg and cold drinks!
Chaat Masala varies from region to region, and in most places even vendor to vendor! Street food stalls usually prepare their own recipe of chaat masala for serving up to customers. The Regency recipe sticks to tradition with the highest quality ingredients for each component, giving a burst of the signature sour / salty taste that chaat masala is known for.
Please note: We freshly grind and pack Chaat Masala to order for maximum flavour. This signature recipe is our secret, so we cannot sell this blend in whole form.

Please note that our ingredients are 100% natural and processed using traditional methods. As a result there may be some visible imperfections. Our spices will have variations in size and colour due to factors such as the amount of sunlight they received when growing, or the amount of rainfall in a particular season. These differences in appearance are entirely normal, and are the result of not treating them with any chemicals, reducing unnecessary hand selection, and minimizing waste.
