Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 peeled orange
- 1 peeled mango
- 1 peeled peach
- 1 cup cubed watermelon
- 1 cup cubed pineapple

- 1 tablespoon honey
- Chaat masala as needed
- Roasted cumin powder as needed
- Red chili powder as needed
- Salt to taste
- 4 lemon wedges
- A few mint leaves
How to Make Shaved Fruit Chaat:
Start by placing all the fruits in the freezer for at least 7 to 8 hours, or ideally overnight. The key is to ensure the fruits are fully frozen to make grating easier.
Once the fruits are frozen solid, take them out one by one and grate each into a separate bowl using a standard grater. After grating a fruit, keep it in the refrigerator to prevent it from melting while you prepare the others.
When all fruits are grated and ready, take a chilled serving glass and drizzle a bit of honey at the base. Begin layering the shaved fruits creatively, mixing colors and textures. After all the fruits are layered, sprinkle chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt over the top.
Finish the dish with lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor. This chaat is best served immediately for maximum chill and freshness.
While you can use store-bought frozen fruits to speed up the process, fresh fruits offer better juice content and flavor. Feel free to mix and match fruits depending on your taste, but ensure the pieces are large enough to grate properly after freezing.
This shaved fruit chaat not only looks beautiful but also cools you down instantly—making it the ultimate summer snack or dessert.
