6 Chatpata Masala Combinations For Bhutta On Rainy Days
Chili-Lemon Masala
This is a classic and nostalgic masala mix that is popularly eaten with roasted corn cob. Red chilli powder gives a kick, while the salt goes well with the kernels' sweet taste. Did you know lemon juice contributes to the cooling effect so you can enjoy piping hot bhutta on a rainy day? The sourness of the lemon juice also compliments the sweetness. This combo is sure a childhood favourite for many!
Chat Masala, Amchur And Butter
Adding chaat masala to the mix is like adding magic. The mix is known for its tangy and flavourful taste. You can add a little bit of amchur additionally to boost the taste. Melted butter or mustard oil with this spice can also enhance the taste of roasted bhutta. If your family loves tangy and sour notes; this is the perfect combo to go to.
Garlic Masala
Add garlic powder, red chilli flakes, salt of choice, and melted butter. This is best for garlic lovers. The garlic powder gives bhutta garlicky flavour, while the red chilli flakes add heat. The salt complements the sweetness of corn, and the melted butter adds a rich, creamy texture, bringing everything together. Garlic chives can also be added to the mix to make the flavour more intense.
Paprika Mix
