Ingredients

Fruits – I have added Banana, Apple, Pomegranate and Pineapple, but you can add more fruits of your choice, I have mentioned below about which fruits can be added in this Delhi Style Fruit Chaat.

Potato – Add in both boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes. It adds a perfect soft texture in this Chaat. And when it comes to Chaat, I feel potatoes are a must right?

Also, both these potatoes will be pan fried in a little ghee, to make them slightly crispy. Believe me, it makes all the difference.

You can avoid adding potatoes, but if you want that Street Style taste, do not skip them.

Spices – To add some spicy and tangy flavour, we will need salt, chaat masala powder, roasted cumin powder and red chilli powder.

Lemon Juice – Add in more tanginess with lemon juice.

Green Chillies & Fresh Coriander – Along with tangy and sweet taste, a little spicy flavour is a must too when it comes to a street style Chaat, so add in those green chillies. You can adjust the amount of green chillies according to your taste.

At the end, add in some finely chopped coriander leaves to add that hint of freshness. You can also throw in some mint leaves in the chaat.

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.
