what is masala papad made of?
  1. See the below image of list of ingredients for making masala papad recipe.

how to make the masala powder
  1. In a small bowl, add ½ tsp chaat masala. The tanginess and the hint of spice from chaat masala can be quite appetizing. These ingredients add a tangy and slightly fruity flavor to the masala, which complements the richness of the fried papad and other toppings.
  2. Add ¼ tsp black salt (sanchal).
  3. Add ½ tsp roasted cumin seeds (jeera) powder. Cumin has a distinctive warm, earthy aroma and slightly nutty flavor. Roasting the cumin seeds intensifies these characteristics, contributing a depth of flavor to the overall masala.
  4. Add 1 tsp kashmiri red chilli powder. Unlike regular red chilli powder, Kashmiri chilli powder has a much milder heat level. This is perfect for masala papad because you want to add a touch of warmth without overpowering the other flavors or making the papad too spicy.
  5. Add ½ tsp dried mango powder (amchur). Amchur powder adds a tart and acidic flavor to the masala powder. This can be a delightful contrast to the richness of the spices and the savory taste of the papad. It can elevate the overall flavor profile by adding another dimension.
  6. Mix well and keep aside.
