ASIAN FRUIT SALAD



Asian fruit salad image

A very popular fruit salad from Pakistan. A blend of spices is added to bring out the flavours of the fruits.

Provided by shafiqkhan

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pommegranate
2 apples
4 small/ bananas
1 medium sized guava
small bunch of grapes, traditionally white ones are used, you can add red or black or even a mix of all 3!
1 large orange
Large Pakistani mango
1/4 a lemon
1/2 tsp of icing sugar
1/4 tsp of 'chaat masala' - this is a blend of spices used in fruit and chickpea salad, buy it from an asian grocer, or try supermarket. I like the 'Lazeez' brand,

Steps:

  • Read through the recipe and gather all your ingredients.
  • Take seeds out of pommegranate. The easy way is to top and tail the pommegranate, cut into half. Then hold each half over a bowl and smack the back with a serving spoon. Be quite firm, the seeds pop out easily.
  • Peel, core and chop apples into small pieces and add to bowl
  • Peel and slice banana's lengthways and chop into pieces, add to bowl.
  • Wash, top and tail guava. Cut into half, scoop out seeds with a teaspoon. slice lengthways, add to bowl. (make sure guava is yellow on the outside and not green, ripe guava should be soft) Guava's can be either white or pink on the inside, like the one in picture, if you can't get hold of fresh guava's, try the pink tinned ones.
  • wash grapes, remove stalks and add to bowl. (Slice in half lengthway's if grapes are large).
  • Remove skin and pith from orange using a sharp knife and cut out segments, add to bowl, squeeze remaining orange onto fruit. Peel the mango and chop into pieces. You can buy these from june-august from an Asian grocer, the smell and taste is amazing, try it :)
  • Add the juice of 1/4 fresh lemon, this stops the fruit turning brown.
  • Add the sugar (fruit in the UK tends to be sour as it is picked before it is ripened and imported over here, the sugar helps balance this a little, icing sugar is best as it dissolves quickly but you can use caster sugar too) and chaat masala, stir well and leave to stand for 15 minutes, this will allow the spices to infuse. Don't add too much spices as it will make the salad too hot, especially for kiddies!
  • You can add pureed apricots to this mix if you wish. Just boil 5 partially dehydrated apricots and blitz them in a food processor when they are soft, then pour onto fruit salad!
  • Other fruits can be added too, try kiwi, strawberries, tinned or fresh peaches, tinned or fresh pears (peel first), blueberies, although they are not used traditionally.
  • You can serve mango or vanilla icecream with the chaat too :)

HA'S ASIAN FRUIT SALAD/SOUP



Ha's Asian Fruit Salad/Soup image

Ha was a very nice military wife I used to know. This fruit salad is one of her family recipes. After I tasted it and asked for the recipe, she was so pleased that I had enjoyed the recipe, that she not only provided me with instructions as to how to make it, but the ingredients as well. You will need to look in an Asian market for the ingredients for this recipe and some will find this to be a very acquired taste. Ai-Yu jelly may looks a lot gelatin and comes in both green and red (and perhaps other colors as well) but Ha used green. Do not try to substitute ordinary Jell-O type gelatin for the Ai-Yu jelly as it is not the correct taste or consistency. Although she called it a salad, I consider this to be a dessert soup. I have since eaten this using coconut milk as well, served as a cold soup. I have also tried using coconut jelly (which comes precubed) in place of the Ai-yu with good results.

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (20 ounce) can whole jackfruit, in syrup
1 (20 ounce) can whole palm seeds in syrup (or lychees)
1 (19 ounce) can green ai-yu jelly (looks like green jello)
milk or coconut milk, chilled

Steps:

  • Drain the fruits, saving the juices.
  • Chop the palm seeds into small cubes and slice the jackfruit into julienne strips.
  • Drain the Ai-Yu jelly and dice into small cubes.
  • Combine the jackfruit, palm seeds, and the jelly cubes in a large glass serving bowl or divide into individual serving dishes.
  • Ha served this in one large serving bowl and poured milk or cream mixed with some of the reserved fruit juices over it all to taste.
  • I prefer to only serve out as much fruit& jelly as needed per serving dish, and then pour a little cream or milk mixed with some of the reserved fruit juice on top.
  • Ha said it was more traditional to use cream, but she often used milk to be healthier.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. Try to include a mix of sweet, tart, and juicy fruits.
  • Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and will help to prevent the salad from becoming too mushy.
  • Add a dressing: A simple dressing can help to enhance the flavor of the fruit salad. Try using a honey-lime dressing, a yogurt dressing, or a balsamic vinegar dressing.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help to keep the fruit salad refreshing and flavorful.
