Indian Fruit Salad Recipe

Fruit Salad With Surprising Spices

In a bowl, combine the following fruits, chopped into bite-sized pieces:

1 pear

1 apple

1 mango

1 papaya

1 cup pineapple, fresh or canned

1 cup strawberries

1 cup grapes, halved

1 large banana

This should yield about 6 cups of chopped fruit. If you have more or less, adjust the amount of spices below accordingly. You can substitute other fruits as your taste and seasonal availability dictate.

Add:

2 TBS sugar

2 teaspoons chat masala

2 teaspoons roasted cumin seeds, finely ground

2 teaspoons lime juice

1/2 - 1 teaspoon hot red pepper powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

*Chat masala is a distinctive mixture of spices sold ready-mixed in most Indian stores. It keeps quite well in an air-tight container. Chat masala can be an acquired taste; you may omit it.
