FRUIT CHAT

Fruit chat is prepared in every household during the month of Ramadan almost on daily basis. It is so nourishing and filled with health benefits that it is must have item on Iftaar table. There are many ways to prepare it, the one I am writing down here is easiest and most consumed one in my family.

• 3/4 cups of grapes
• 1 mango
• 3-4 bananas

• 4 dates
• 1/4 cup sultanas/raisins
• 1 orange

1. Wash, peel and slice the fruits in a mixing bowl.
2. Add almond in a bowl and add as much water to cover it completely, micro it for few mins. Remove it, peel it and slice it.
3. Soak raisin/sultanas in water for some time, drain and put aside.
4. Wash and slice dates.
5. Now mix sliced almond, raisins and dates in the sliced fruits.
6. Pour the prepared solution(recipe below) over it.

* You can use all or less fruits depending on the availability. I sometime added papaya and boiled chickpeas too and it taste great. I mean with chat all you have to enjoy is the taste of different fruits in it.
