-
If using banana and mango, use ripe but firm banana and mango or else it will turn mushy and give an unappealing look to the fruit chaat.
-
Choose fruits of your choice or seasonal fruits.
-
If using sweet potato, pressure cook for 2 whistles separately, chop it and then use.
-
You can add regular potato as well. If using, dice it, then deep fry and add it.
-
Highly recommend using cumin powder, as it helps in digestion and adds a nice flavour. I would recommend using roasted cumin powder.
-
Chaat masala is the hero ingredient in fruit chaat and any chaat recipe. It lends an extra zing and punch to the fruit chaat.
-
You can also add finely chopped green chillies and red chilli powder.
-
Mint leaves makes the fruit chaat tastes more refreshing. You can also add chopped coriander leaves.
-
I used Himalayan rock salt aka sendha namak. You may use the regular salt.
