This chaat/salad recipe is my all-time favorite and I prepare it regularly. Mine is the super simple version of Delhi fame Kulle chaat or fruit chaat. Traditionally, this spiced up fruit chaat is served in scooped out veggies like bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers. Instead of that, I mixed both my fruits and veggies together and tossed it with chaat masala and added some roasted peanuts for additional flavor. That’s it.
This is pretty much like Channa Chaat. I usually add cucumbers, carrots, grapes, apples, pomegranate arils along with peanuts. I prefer crunchy veggies and fruits in this salad. You can also include bell peppers, tomatoes (make sure you deseed and remove the pulp), bananas and oranges. I just used oranges for decoration. :-) We all know the chewing process is very important in digestion. It helps the intestine to absorb the nutrients from the food particles as they pass through. The longer we chew, the more time it will take to complete the meal and eating slowly helps us to feel full which in turn help us eating less calories. And this crunchy salad helps a lot as the veggies and fruits here obviously need more chewing.
Ingredients:
- Carrot – 1
- Cucumber – 1
- Apple – 1
- Pomegranate seeds – 3 tbsps.
- Green Grapes – 1/4 cup
- Peanuts – 3 tbsps.
- Chaat Masala – 1 tsp
- Lemon Juice – 1 tsp
- Black Salt – 1/4 tsp
Steps & Notes:
- Chop all the veggies in your preferred shape. I usually chop them into small pieces including grapes.
- Add these fruits in a mixing bowl and add the black salt, chaat masala and lemon juice.
- Toss them nicely. Just before serving add the peanuts.
- You can skip black salt and add regular salt. In that case, add more chaat masala or you can include cumin powder too.
- Also adjust the veggies and fruits as per your choice.
That’s it. Enjoy the simple and healthy fruit and vegetable salt.
