What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use ripe but firm kiwis. Overly soft kiwis will turn mushy, while under-ripe ones will be too sour.
- 2Serve this chaat immediately after preparing it. If it sits for too long, the kiwi will release water and become soggy.
- 3You can add a tablespoon of pomegranate arils for a nice crunch and a boost of antioxidants.
- 4If you don't have black salt, you can use a tiny pinch of regular salt, but black salt provides a more authentic and digestive-friendly flavor.
