14. fruit for dinner


I would've just had fruit with a sprinkling of chaat masala. But I felt like doing something different so I tried making fruit chaat, which is a very popular snack at street vendors and homes in India. I used apples, mangoes (I picked out a disappointingly bland one), watermelon, grapes, pineapples and cucumbers (not sure if it's considered fruit). For seasoning, I added chaat masala, red chilli powder, black pepper, amchur (dry mango powder), a pinch of asafoetida (in hindsight, not a good idea) and some lemon juice. It was more than a satisfying and filling meal ...
