This week I will be blogging with some seasonal fruits. There was one time when we got seasonal fruits and veggies in that particular season only, but now you get them all year round. But still they flood the markets when in season, and they are so tasty. It is always better to eat fruits and veggies during season and this week I will showcase three such seasonal fruits available now. For the first day, it is the humble guava. I was not a great guava fan until two years. Ever since I started with my low carb diet, I was allowed to have one raw guava daily. Fruits and veggies don’t taste so good unless there is some sort of restriction. I guess it is the same for everything in our life. As I couldn’t eat fruits and as I was allowed guava, I started loving it. Even the raw guava would have some sweetness and it was great for those sweet cravings.
Sometimes, the guava would ripe fast and I would eat it with guilt. Now I am not as strict as the beginning and I do eat fruits once in a while, but my love for guava continues. Whenever I visit the library, there is one vendor who sells delicious guava near the library. I look forward to going to library just to buy guava. You can just eat guava as it is or add some salt and red chilly to enhance the taste. Once I tried it with chat masala and I so loved it. My cravings for chat was so high at one period and I would add chat masala to anything and everything and eat it as a chat. That is what happened with this salad too. You add onions, lemon and chat masala to any fruit and veggies to make it taste like chat. Also add some roasted almonds for the crunch and it would just take it to a new level.

Guava – 2
Onion – 1

There was a period when my daughter used to add chaat masala for everything and sometimes she used to eat pinches of chaat masala as such! Love this idea of guava chaat.She loves gauva and chaat masala and I am going to make this for her.
Guava chaat sounds interesting and a guilt free chaat recipe.
Even am craving for some chaat foods, and this guava chaat will definitely tickle my tastebuds without any fail . And that addition of almonds makes this chaat more interesting.
what a delicious way to use up guava – what a great snack!
A delicious way to eat fruits is by sprinkling spices and chaat masala. You have just given me an idea to eat guava. But unfortunately it is not widely available where I live.
Guava chat looking mouthwatering and tasty. adding almond is a nice twist must say. we do make this chat ass n when we buy guava.
While I love fruits and also guava, in particular, I don’t end up eating as much as one should. What you say is right, when we are told to something, we do tend to like it a lot. I still would love it plain, but your chat surely sounds interesting.
This is one of my favourite fruit too, unfortunately we d not get here. This is making me drool and I want it now.
I had bookmarked guava chaat when I was doing the street food series for mega marathon and my husband was not in favor of it and I had to let go. Your chaat is making my mouth water here.
what a delicious way to eat guavas gayathri! That bowl of dressed up guava looks very tempting, i m going to try this next time i buy guavas!
I like guava a bit raw and when chaat masala is sprinkled over it, I can have plate full of guavas
Generally we eat guava with spices but your version is quite unique and makes whole salad recipe.
