Fruit Chaat
Fruit Chaat is one of my favourite recipes and serves as a
delectable party dish. It is a nutritious and full of vitamins as fresh fruits
are used, a good recipe for all health conscious folks. I learnt this recipe
from my friend’s family. The story goes a long time ago. We had a school fete
during our middle school and we had a food stall selling Paani Poori and Fruit
Chaat. Both the items were made by my friend’s family and I had chipped in my
efforts for cutting fruits etc. Our stall was great hit and all goods got sold
in no time. Since then, fruit chaat has been one of my most liked dishes.
This recipe is very easy and the basic fruits required are
those that are easily available all through the year, they are bananas, apples,
papaya and guavas. You may add other fruits too like the sweet lime, oranges,
grapes etc, it is left to your choice. The fruits need to be just ripe and
firm.
