Fruit Glass


If you have a kid at home, you know how difficult it is to make them eat and finish their food. But in my household, the kid is OK with fruits...the problem is with the elders. Every morning I make sure to pack one whole fruit  in their lunch boxes, just to take them out untouched in the evening. Then I started adding them in their salads and desserts. I am happy and they are too. Even when we have guest at home, I manage to serve them fruits mixed with salads or in the sweet dish or desserts.
So the idea is to present the fruits in such a way, so that they do not have to make any effort and its easier for them to just eat them....no peeling...no chopping...straight from the box to the mouth. My dish here is pretty simple...it has got kiwis and strawberries to it. Strawberries every-ones favourite but Kiwi needs a lot of effort to peel. A tip to peel Kiwi is slice a thin side from one end. Place the cut base on the chopping board so that its stand straight and start running your knife on the sides from top to bottom to take out the skin. You can peel the orange, grapefruit in the same way.


Peel the Kiwis as mentioned above to get rid of the skins. Chop the strawberries and kiwis in bite size chunks. Mix a little sugar and black salt together and mix well with the cut fruits. The black salt really enhances the taste here. Fill in the glass with the fruits till the edges. Place a dollop of fresh cream on top. Garnish with the sliced strawberry and sesame snaps. Ready in minutes and you will surely get an WOW from your guest.

Tip: If using fruits like apple, banana, mix a tsp of lime juice to the cut fruits and coat well. It will keep the fruits from turning brown.
Make your fruit cocktail with different fruits and enjoy.
Happy Cooking!!!
