How to serve
- Serve Masala Fruit Chaat at a dessert table along side other desserts such as Nectarous Gulab Jamun, Sabudana Kheer or Seviyan Kheer
Notes
- Use premium quality fruits. Wash them well.
- Make the fruit chaat an hour ahead. Cover with cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Take it out 5 minutes before serving.
- If you want to make it 2-3 hours ahead, then add a little of the masala powders and lime juice. Lime juice will prevent browning. Cover with cling wrap and place in the refrigerator. Take it out from the fridge just 5 minutes before serving. Toss it with some more masala powders and serve. A perfect fruit salad should be crisp and fresh looking crunchy to look at and not mushy, dull and limp.
- You could add fruits of your choice or according to seasonal availability.
