Servings: 5
Calories: 163kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons cane sugar or more
- 1 pinch Kashmiri chili powder or cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt or black salt (kala namak)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracker
- 1 large apple diced
- 2 bananas sliced
- 1 ripe mango cubed
- 1 large tangerine or orange chopped
- 1½ cups of grapes cut into halves or quarters (any color)
Instructions
- COMBINE: In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, sugar, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- TOSS: Add the apples and bananas to the lemon mixture and toss. Let the apples and bananas sit for 2-3 minutes so that they don’t brown.
- ADD EVERYTHING ELSE: Add the mangoes, tangerines, and grapes. Using a rubber spatula, toss it all together. Taste and adjust with more sugar or chili powder as needed.
- LET IT REST: I like to let the fruit chaat salad sit covered in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes to develop flavor and for the fruit to get cold. It does taste best that way, but you can serve it immediately as well.
Notes
- Seasoning Variations: A lot of families like to use chaat masala in their fruit chaat recipes. Feel free to swap the salt, chili powder, and black pepper for ¼- ½ teaspoon of chaat masala. You could also sprinkle it with kala namak (black salt) or a pinch of amchoor (mango powder.)
- Fruit Variations: Depending on the fruit in season, you can add kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, guava (my family always does), and so much more. The key is to always use apples, bananas, and grapes, and then add 2-3 other fruits.
