Seasoned Fruit Salad - Indian Style
Sunday, January 01, 2023
Wishing you all Happy & Prosperous New Year 2023!!
For this New Year I thought of posting Fruit Salad. What is so different you may ask? For a Fruit Salad you just cut fruits and mix it together. Yes, that’s right! But, my mom used to add spices, season it with dry fruits and nuts. In our home we also make this for Prasada/Naivedyam - offering for God - after the prayer, we all eat it as blessings.
Ingredients:
- Ripe Fruits - Mango, Banana, Apple etc. - 1 each; Grapes - 1 cup
- Dry fruits and nuts - Raisins (dry grapes), Cashew nuts, Almonds etc.
- Spices - Green Cardamom powder from 1 pod, Cinnamon powder - ¼ tsp, Nutmeg powder - a pinch, Black Pepper powder - a pinch
- Honey - 1 tsp [optional]
- Ghee - 1 tsp
Method:
- Prep Fruits: Peel mango, apple and banana skin. Cut them into cubes and put them into a bowl. Cut grapes into halves; remove the seeds if there are any.
- Chop nuts into pieces.
- Add spices powders and honey to the fruits and mix.
- Put seasoning pan on low flame, add ghee to the pan. Once ghee is hot, add raisins. Keep stirring, once raisins is roasted, it swells. Spoon them out to the fruit bowl. Now add chopped nuts to remaining ghee, roast them until golden brown. Pour the whole thing over the fruit. Gently mix them all.
- Offer to the God and have. Or serve as dessert.
- Other fruits like pineapple chunks, peeled oranges may also be used.
- While serving as desserts, scoop of Ice cream or custard may be added on top. Yummy!!
- I make fruit salad with cut berries [strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and black berry] and Kiwi + grapes. But I don't season it or add nuts to the salad. But I do like a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream or whip cream to go with it.
