Truthfully speaking, there are no real rules to a fruit chaat, usually tart summer fruits are used. In this version today, I have stayed away from using chaat masala, adding fresh ginger, mint and black salt instead. The dressing has some lime and brown sugar and I used grapefruit to add to a nuanced citrus like taste.
