Can Chaat Masala and Garam Masala be substituted for each other?!
Answers: Absolutely not! Chaat masala consists of dried mango powder, cumin, black salt, coriander, dried ginger, salt, black pepper,asafoetida and red pepper. Chaat masala has a pungent smell and tastes sweet, sour and pungent. Garam Masala on the other hand contains cinnamon, roasted cumin, cloves, nutmeg (and/or mace) and green cardamom seed or black cardamom pods. Garam masala can be used during cooking, but unlike many spices, it is often added at the end of cooking, so that the full aroma is not lost. Garam masala is not "hot" in the sense that chilis are, but is fairly pungent
It depends entirely on the dish you're making.
I guess they do taste similar.
I think in most situations they can substitute each other.

It is my understanding that these spice mixtures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer....

Some spices will be missing in the chaat masala. But you can use it.
hmm... i think it is better to use them for their intended purposes... chaat masala in a curry might make it taste a little sour.... and garam masala on lets fruits..it might taste a little weird...like bitter....
...there is a difference in between chaat and gram masala.
but when i am out of garam masala i use chaat masala....but one can not use garam masala instead of chaat masala.
hope u got it.
In one word NO.
They both have their own distinctive flavours, that add to the taste and aroma of the dish they are being used in. Though they may have some common ingredients, they are two totally different masalas
Even in an emergency i would not dream of substituting,some spices feature in both the masalas,but the end product is distinctly different & meant to be used differently in specific dishes using one in place of another i feel will not give the impact it is supposed to .I think tastes need to be specific not ambigious.
depends on the dish
