Serves 6 Total Time: 20 minutes Notes * The Garlic EVOO is a great way to add lots of garlic flavor to this dish. Alternatively, add some grated garlic to the hot unflavored olive oil, sauté for a minute or two and then add the cumin seeds and curry leaves. * Chaat Masala is a blend of spices that includes “Kala Namak” or Himalayan Black salt with its strong umami flavor and dried mango powder or “amchoor” with its characteristic sour tang. There really is not a good substitute for this, but Chaat Masala is easily available in any Indian grocery store or online. Send me an email for more uses for the Chaat Masala you buy.
