Fruit and Vegetable Salad with Indian Spices

I had a mini heart-attack when I checked the date of the last post on my beloved website. Yes, it’s been more than 3 months since I posted a new recipe. Let me apologize to my dear readers. The last few months kept me on my toes.  A month long Kerala vacation, a wedding in the family, an international trip and of course lack of regular internet access were all reasons for my absence. Well, I am hoping to be more regular in 2013 with lots of good food and recipes.

Let me start with a super simple Fruit and Vegetable Salad with a touch of Indian spices. Apples, Cucumbers, Carrots, Mini Sweet Peppers, Raisins and a handful of roasted nuts, spiced with Indian Chaat Masala and Dried Mango Powder make this wonderful salad. Chaat Masala is a sweet and sour spice mix used in Indian Cuisine. When Chaat Masala is added to fruits, it is known as Fruit Chaat and is a popular street food.

I recently happened to notice mini sweet peppers in the market and I have become a fan of it. These colorful, sweet peppers are perfect for a snack. The sweetness of mini peppers, apples and raisins gives this salad a twist. You can serve this Fruit and Vegetable Chaat or Salad as an appetizer or it is fit enough to be the main meal on your table when you aren’t in the mood for heavy food.

    Dear friend,

    I found this website really complete and very eye-catching. Thanks for the wonderful recipes and complete explanations ! For the fruit chaat above, it’s good to use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes instead of the larger ones….
    Seedless blue grapes sliced in half can also be added.

    Regards,
    Sushma
