Fruit Chaat

                       As it is Ramadan let me introduce to you today to a dish without which our Ramadan is incomplete and that is Fruit Chaat.

                      We first tasted fruit chaat back in the 90's when we first visited Saudi during Ramadan and one of our relative residing their had prepared this for us. The taste had struck us in such a manner that there has been no looking away, every year during Ramadan this lip smacking dish adores our table through out the month-every single day. Infact we avoid Iftar parties because all we want to have is Fruit chaat.

                      Fruits are naturally low in Sodium and fat content while being loaded with essential nutrients like potassium, Vitamin C, folate and dietary fiber and are a great option to break your fast with specially when you want to avoid oily food. But, fasting or not fasting do try this recipe atleast once, you can include or exclude fruits as per your liking. Also try other recipes which include fruits like Fruit custard, Mango sponge cake, Mango milkshake, Strawberry milkshake and Orange kheer.          

                     Many people complicate the fruit chaat recipe adding salt and making it a little bit tangy but ours is simple and sweet as we add only sugar and yeah since it is chaat a little of chaat masala. So, here is the detailed recipe for you.

Ingredients:

1. Apple - 1 no
2. Banana - 1 no
3. Grapes - 10 to 15 nos
4. Sweet lime - 1 no
5. Orange - 1 no
6. Pomegranate - 1/4 cup
7. Sugar - 2 to 3 tbsp
8. Chaat masala - 1 tsp

Method:

• Chop the fruits finely. 
• Wash pomegranate seeds and grapes. De-seed the grapes if needed.
• Take all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Adjust the sugar amount as mostly all fruits are sweet and you may require only 2 tbsp of it. 
• Serve immediately.

                       Remember to add sugar when you are ready to serve as the fruits will ooze out water, even that tastes good though!
