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.

Ingredients:-
Apple- 2
Banana-1-2
Papaya-1 cup peeled and chopped
Honey- 1-2 tsp (optional)
Chat Masala- 1 tsp
Lemon- 1


Method:-
Ingredients

de seed and chop your fruits

Fruit Salad/ Fruit Art

Fruit Salad/ Fruit Art
Hi Friends,
I know its not a recipe. Pictures are self explanatory.  Actually yesterday kids were asking for something. I gave them these fruits and they returned back to me saying we don't like this. Give us something like pakora, samosa etc. I was really don't want to give them something fried or unhealthy so i tried this method and believe me when they saw it comment came-Wooow Mammy its beautiful and they emptied plate playing that i will eat flower, i will eat stones etc. 
I was really amazed with the results that sometimes presentation is more important then outcome of the recipe. So friends i am leaving you here with very simple but attractive way or serving fruits to you kids or may be to make a attractive part of a party.

Ingredients:-
Orange - 1 
Banana- 1
Strawberry - 1
Black Grapes - 10-12

Method:-
  1. Separate orange segments. Place segments to make flower leaves
  2. Place black grapes in the middle of them 
  3. Cut banana half in lengthwise and place it as trunk.  

4.  Now cut strawberry in half and use it to make                           buds
5.  Arrange black grapes to make stones at the bottom.

  Your Fruit Salad is READY

Notes:-
  1. Only thing i can say here is that guys use your imagination like to make trunk you can use carrot, and to make flower you can use strawberry also.
  2. If your kids like then you can give them some honey or chocolate sauce as dip to have with fruits.
