Fruit Chaat

Fruit chaat is a popular iftaar dish during Ramadan in the Indian households. The preparation is pretty simple-

Ingrediants
  • Two bananas sliced
  • One apple cut into small pieces
  • Handful of grapes, cut into two halves
  • 6-7 small slices of pineapple
These are the bare minimum fruits required. You can have additional fruits for colour.

Preparation

Put all the fruits in a bowl and add chaat masala, two small spoons of sugar (or more as per taste), and the juice of half a lemon. Black pepper powder can also be used instead of chaat masala. You can also squeeze in the juice of an orange for extra taste.

Leave the bowl for at least half an hour. Mix the ingrediants only before serving.
