Ingredients

• 2 piece Malus domestica Borkhausen ( peeled and diced )
• 1 piece Mango ( diced )
• 2 piece Banana (peeled) ( sliced or diced )
• 0.5 piece Pomegranate ( seeds only )
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Cumin ground
• 1 pinch Hot pepper en poudre optional
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 5 piece Mint fresh ( chopped )
• 1 tsp Chaat Masala
• 1 pinch Black salt (Kala Namak)

Instructions

1. Fruit preparation

   Cut the apple, mango, and bananas into regular 1 cm cubes. The pieces should be the same size for a uniform bite.

2. Seasoning

   In a large bowl, mix the lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, sea salt, chaat masala, and black salt (kala namak). Stir until the spices are well dissolved in the juice.

3. Coating and finishing

   Pour the fruit into the bowl. Mix gently so as not to crush the bananas. Add the pomegranate seeds and chopped mint. The fruit should be shiny and well-coated with the spiced juice.

Chef's tips

• Do not prepare this salad too far in advance; the salt draws moisture out of the fruit, making it lose its crunch.
• If you find Chaat Masala, replace the salt and cumin with a large tablespoon of that spice mix.

Storage

Consume immediately. Can be kept for a maximum of 2 hours in the fridge, after which the fruits soften.
