Ingredients
- 1 apple chopped
- 1 pear chopped
- 1 orange chopped
- 1 Mango chopped
- 5 strawberry cut into 4
- 1/2 cup grapes halved
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds optional
- 1/4 teaspoon Black salt (kala namak)
- 1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala add more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly crushed
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 6-8 Mint leaves (Pudhina) chopped
Instructions
- Cut the apple, pear, orange and mango to bite size pieces. Cut each strawberry into 4, and grapes into half. In a large bowl, add all the fruits.
- Now add the black salt, cumin powder, chaat masala and black pepper. Sprinkle the lemon juice. Adding lemon juice prevents fruits from browning.
- Gently mix without mashing fruits. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Garnish with mint leaves and serve. Fruit Chaat tastes great when served chilled.

Notes
- Fruits: It's better to use seasonal fruits because they're the cheapest, but any fruit you have on hand will do. Papaya, pineapple, peaches, plums, kiwis, blueberries, guavas and raspberries are other options.
- Bananas: When adding bananas to your chaat, slice and add them just prior to serving, else they will become mushy.
- Prep ahead: You can chop some fruits ahead of time (note: some fruits are best cut just before serving. eg. banana, apples, and pear) and store them in the refrigerator. And then, right before serving, toss in the seasoning and lemon juice.
