Chatpata Fruit Salad/ Fruit Salad with Chat Masala/ Fruit Chaat

 Chatpata Fruit Salad/
Fruit Salad with Chat Masala/
Fruit Chaat
Hi Friends,
Salads are always a refreshing treat when it comes to light, quick and healthy food. It can be prepared in minutes and relished without any guilt. Use any of your favorite fruit or spices in your hands to make a salad and you are done. Have it as breakfast, lunch or dinner. Salads are guilt free food which can be taken any time of the day. Simple salads are always welcome but sometimes you want to spice it up. You can choose the main ingredients and dressing as per your choice or truly speaking whatever floats on your boat. You need any fruit/veggie/nuts/seeds available with you and a dressing to pair it like lemon/ginger/honey/pepper pdr/cinnamon etc. 
This time i chose chat masala to give my salad a chatakedaar twist. My kids liked it light and me and my hubby liked it with loads of chat masala in it. Sometimes sweetness of fruits make it too sweet so to make it like chat i used chat masala with a great success. People may have used chat masala in veggie salads but believe me and try in fruits salads also. You will amazed with the outcome. It becomes great chaat or you can say Fruit Chat. All ladies there craving for a chat which is out of reach can try this to have that scrumptious sweet and sour chaat taste. Make it for parties, get together or on a lazy day with less cooking mood to prepare meal without spending much time in the kitchen. Try it any time any day you will not be disappointed. Try it guys you will love it.

Apple- 2

Now to the today's recipe. A refreshing Veggie salad with Corn and cottage cheese.
This salad is so filling and a good dinner/lunch for weight watchers, hardly takes 15 min to prepare and so flexible to add or skip any ingredient. It tastes great without any dressing or you can try your favorite dressing but i think the best would be some lemon juice and chilly flakes.

Papaya Salad with Yummy Dressing

Papaya Salad with Yummy Dressing/
Healthy Salad
Hi Friends,
Today i am here with fruit salad with dressing, which is my first attempt to make dressing for any salad. I was always fascinated with the dressings used to make pasta, fruit or vegetables salad. In so may functions i saw that separate salad section with so many kind of dressing. Still i don't know the name and ingredients of that yummy salad which i have tasted in so many marriage functions. I love that salad. That is some creamy white dressing mostly in pasta salads, don't' know which one is that, any body there to help me with that dressing? 

I have tasted a healthy salad few months back. It was so yummy,  from that onward after every second day i went there and had that salad, i was so addicted to that. That was a fruit, nut and seeds salad with dressing, i just loved that, i wanted to know the dressing but never asked them, once i ordered that salad and stood close to the counter to see the ingredients, and i was just shocked to see it was nothing then curd we get from Mother dairies. How could that be so yummy. Then i saw he mixed curd and watermelon first as watermelon has juice in it and curd mixed with that juice gives very yummy flavor and after that he added more fruits. So guys the main ingredient was curd mixed with juice of your favorite fruit. I was feeling so foolish to not to recognize the ingredient. So yesterday night i made this salad for my hubby and he liked it very much. It took hardly ten min to prepare it. So guys try this with your favorite fruit and tell me the outcome.

Ingredients:-
Papaya - 250 gm
Curd - 2 tbsp
Honey -1tbsp

Method:-
Gather your ingredients

cut papaya and keep one long piece separate

Now puree or grate that piece

Now take a bowl and mix curd papaya puree and honey

Mix it well

READY TO SERVE SALAD







Notes:-
  1. You can use thin or thick curd for dressing as per your choice, whisk it before adding other ingredients.
  2. I grated papaya, for more batter results puree it. 
  3. Honey will give a very nice touch in taste. But don't add to much it will spoil the taste.
