Fruit Chaat

(Rahul Mehra)

This is a perfect blend of spices with fruits and is very versatile as you can use any fruit depending upon the season. It can be served as a salad or as an appetizer in parties. Chaat masala is a combination of different spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger and black pepper. It is easily available in any Indian grocery store and on-line. The masala is used to flavor dishes and at times drinks also.
