REFRESHING FRESH FRUITS CHAAT

REFRESHING FRESH FRUITS CHAAT

Fresh Fruits Chaat is quite a popular fasting recipe from  Northern India. It can also be served as an evening snack. There are many variations to it. Some like to add only fruits, whereas others add boiled or pan-fried potatoes and sweet potatoes as well. No matter what you add, it always turns out delicious.

The uniqueness of the recipe lies in the interesting combination of spices, distinct flavors and textures of all the fruits in there.

Ingredients

  • 1 Banana
  • 1 Baby Cucumber 
  • 2 Cuties ( oranges)
  • 1 Gala Apple
  • 1 and a 1/2 cups Grapes
  • 1 Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 to 2 tsps Local Honey (or organic cane sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper Powder 
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Sindhav Salt or Black Salt

Place the clean up/washed fruits of your choice in one plate.

Cut them into bite size pieces.

Season the fruits with a generous amount of freshly ground black-pepper, dry roasted cumin powder, fresh lemon juice, and honey.

Combine well, taste, and adjust the seasoning. Cover and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, our refreshing fresh fruit chaat is ready to serve.

Notes: 

This sweet, savory, and spicy Fresh Fruit Chaat is super nutritious and delicious in taste. I am so proud to mention that it’s my maternal grandmother’s  time recipe. She used to add fruits like guava and papaya as well. 

Then I saw my mom always preparing it during Navaratri Fasting with her favorite pomegranate arils.

Following her footsteps, I too create it with lots of love and fond memories.

BOILED POTATOES AND PEANUTS NAVARATRI VRATA (FASTING) RECIPE

Fasting recipes are very easy and quick to create. Reason being, only a few spices and herbs are allowed to use into it. Plus no onions and garlic is there. Not only easy to create, fasting recipes are also easier to digest. A good time to purify mind and body and get connected to our divine nature. 

Here, I have created a very common potato fasting recipe with an interesting twist. Give it a try and I am sure, you’re going to love it for sure.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium size Boiled Potatoes 🥔 
  • 1 to 2 Green Chilies
  • 1 to 2 tbsps. Fresh Coriander 
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Raw/Baked Peanuts 🥜 
  • 1 to 2 tsps. Ghee (purified butter)
  • 1/2 tsp. Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Sindhav Salt (Fasting Salt) 
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice 🍋
  • or Plain Yogurt

Main ingredients (boiled potatoes, peanuts, green chilies, and coriander).

On a low-medium heat, add ghee and peanuts, stir until the color starts changing (about 2 minutes)…

Transfer the peanuts in a bowl for later use. In the same pan/ghee, add cumin seeds, green chilies, potatoes, black pepper, and salt. Let it cook on a low-medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes…

Add a generous amount of fresh coriander, and green chilies…

Add peanuts and let it get crispy for another 2 to 3 minutes…

Transfer the spicy potatoes and peanuts to a serving plate. Add fresh lemon Juice and it’s ready to serve 🙏

Or serve with fresh plain yogurt.

Notes: Potato is one of the most popular vrata/fasting vegetable. It is easily available in all parts of the world. It makes a variety of delicious and satisfying vrata recipes. Here, I am sharing an interesting combination of potatoes and peanuts. All I can say is a MUST TRY recipe.

It is always good to add vitaminC with potatoes. Either lemon juice and/or a small serving of plain yogurt.
