Seasonal Fruit Savoury Dessert Recipe for Thai Pongal
Let it be Red Apples and Green Grapes from Northern or Southern Hemisphere, Guava and Pineapple from the Tropics – all of them are seasonal fruit. Here I am going to write a recipe told by my aunt in India. In India they usually call it as “Fruit Mixture” in Tamil and done during the Thai Pongal Festival.
Ingredients A:
1/2 Teaspoon Cummin Seeds
1 Tablespoon Ghee
1 Stem Curry Leaves
3 Cloves
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Table Salt to taste
1 Guava half ripe – Sliced
1 Fuji Red Apples - Sliced
1/4 Ripe Pineapple – Sliced
15 Seedless Green Grapes
Ingredients B – Blend Together:
1 Guava half ripe
1 Fuji Red Apples
1/4 Ripe Pineapple
15 Seedless Green Grapes
Method:
Heat the cooking pan and add ghee. Add cummin seeds, cloves and curry leaves to the ghee and stir. Add all the sliced fruits from Ingredient A and stir together. Then add turmeric powder and garam masala to the mixture. After that, add in the Ingredient B blended fruit paste. Let the mixture cook and become tender fruits. Finally, add lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve the dessert recipe with corriander leaves garnished.
