Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8-10 mini oranges
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 green chili cut into pieces
- ¼ cup cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon black salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
Prepare The Oranges
- Cut the oranges in half horizontally. Remove the peel completely. Gently remove excess white fibre (this prevents bitterness), then separate the segments carefully and set aside.
If using regular oranges, then peel and cut the slices into small pieces.
Make The Fresh Green Paste
- Add garlic, green chilies, coriander, mint leaves, and salt to a mortar and pestle.
- Crush to make a coarse paste.
Assemble The Chaat
- Add the oranges to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the fresh green paste, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, black salt, sugar, and lime juice, and mix everything well.
- Chill for 30 minutes before serving. Resting the orange chaat for a while brings out the flavors very well.
