Today's alphabet for the Food Blogging Marathon # 32 is F and I made this tangy, zingy and tasty Fruit Raita in the Miscellaneous category. A simple recipe that can be made with any fruits and any salad vegetables at hand. When you have a festive meal with lots of sweets you need something small on the side that cleanses the palate at the same time adds some zing to the taste. This fruit Raita is that dish.

                                                          

                                                              

 Ingredients:

2 small cucumbers

1 medium apple 

2 small pink or white guavas

1 sweet lime       

For the dressing:

2 inch piece of ginger                  

2 mild green chilies or to taste   

1 1/2 tsp mustard/rai seeds

Dahi/curds/yogurt as needed

1/4 cup cream

1 tblsp sugar

salt to taste

How to make the dressing:

Grind ginger, chillies, mustard seeds, sugar and 1 tblsp dahi to make a paste. 

Peel and chop apple and cucumbers in small pieces. Cut and remove seeds from the guava and chop in small pieces.
Mix with the dressing and add dahi as needed to make it fairly loose. Add salt to taste. Serve chilled. The mustard and the dahi together gives a tangy zingy taste to this wonderful Fruit Raita. You can add green grapes and soft pears too. Do not add any colourful fruits or vegetables in this raita.
