Fruit Chaat, Indian Fruit Salad
This is a bright, colorful, and refreshing fruit chaat (snack) that can also be used as a fruit salad. My siblings and I looked forward to the fruit chaat, served regularly as part of our lunch. It was a delicious way of eating a great variety of fresh, seasonal fruit. This by itself will brighten up any meal, and it tastes great at any time of day.
Ingredients
- 2 oranges skin removed and sliced in ½ inch each segment
- 1 apple peeled and cubed into ½ inch pieces
- 1 firm banana sliced into approximately ¼ inch rounds
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup English or Asian cucumber cubed into ¼ inch pieces
- 1 green chili finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Dressing
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp ginger juice
- 1/2 tsp roasted cumin seeds powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp black salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the fruit and cucumber with the green chili and cilantro. Toss and set aside.
- Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, making sure the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the dressing over the fruit when ready to serve.
Notes
Tips I have used many different varieties of fruits in this chaat dish; however, I always keep the oranges and bananas, as they add a lot of color and texture to the dish.

Hello Manjula,
i love dry fruits so much! Would this recipe works with dry fruits too?
Your Pani puri recipe was excellent. Having failed once trying to make at home, we had almost given up. We are also going to try your fruit chat. Thank you.
Manjulaji, please let me know if I can put mango in fruit chaat. Also, when I put lemon juice on bananas, how long will the bananas stay fresh without turning black?
Thanks a lot.

Love your recipes, very tasty.
But I have a concern about combining sweet and sour fruits together. Example banana and oranges. I know it is very popular way to combine, but since you are concerned about health ( I remember one video or comment you said about not eating garlic), I thought to let you know.
Anna, can you better explain your concern about the fruit combination so the rest of us understand? Thanks, Jaya
Tried this recipe. Tasted very good. Will make it everyday.Thanks for the recipe
I love this a lot.
Namaste Aunty,
How did you peel these oranges like this? I tried but it did not come out in cubes as yours 🙁 Any tips?
