Frequently asked Questions:

You can add in Apple, Banana, Mangoes, Pomegranate, Pear, Orange, Pineapple, Strawberries, Grapes, Watermelon and Cherries. These are the most common used fruits used in a Chaat, you can use other seasonal fruits too but make sure it tastes good with other fruits.

How to prevent the fruits from turning black?

To prevent the fruits from turning black, mix them with citrus juice such as lemon juice, orange juice or even pineapple juice. In this way, they will keep fresh for longer.

So if you have cut fruits ahead of time, make sure you coat them in citrus juice, even if you are storing it in the fridge.

Storage Suggestions

I will recommend you to make it fresh. I do not like to store it as all the fruits lose their appearance and colour. But if you have leftovers, try and eat it within 10-12 hours. Store it in a sealed container.
