Notes
I really enjoyed the simple flavor of this soup, but I enjoyed it even more with a sprinkling of chunky chat masala. Chunky chat is a type of Indian chat masala that is frequently served with snacks, fruit, salads, and drinks. Chat masala’s flavor is savory and complex, and not very pungent. I recommend that you invest in chat masala. My husband loves it on fresh corn with lemon, and it is excellent with potato. The one I recommend includes salt, dry mango, black salt, cumin, musk melon, black pepper, pomegranate seeds, coriander, mint, ginger, nutmeg, chili, caraway, bishop’s week, cloves, and asafetida. You could also try garam masala, which is hotter than chat masala.
