Now here's one dessert that has no sugar...the flavor totally rides on the fresh fruits and whip cream. Assembling the dessert is a breeze once you have all the ingredients ready :) Again there are no limits to the kind of fruits you want to add, I put whatever I had handy.

Ingredients:

1 apple
1 orange
1 banana
1 cup cantaloupe

1 cup grapes

1 cup mango

2-3 tsp fresh apricot

2-3 tsp black raisins

3-4 dates

Method:

Cut all the fruits in desired sizes, layer them in a serving bowl.

Scoop a dollop of whip cream on top and sprinkle black raisins, dried apricots and dates. Serve cold!

Mango Tomato Chutney

This chutney is very spicy and at the same time sweet to taste. It was so delicious that it got over in the first serving itself! The recipe asked for green mangoes but it looked too appealing and I decided to make it with the sweet mangoes I had at hand ;p

Ingredients:

1 Mango, peeled and cubed

2 large tomatoes, cored, blanched and deskinned before chopping

20 curry leaves

3 tablespoons ghee or butter

2 teaspoons black mustard seeds

2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 cup chopped green onion

1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon salt

Cilantro to garnish

Method:

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt the ghee, add the mustard seeds. As the seeds begin to pop add the curry leaves, stirring briefly until wilted.

Add the tomatoes, cumin, red chilli and turmeric. Stir, then cook on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Stir in mango, cover skillet, and cook for another 10 minutes. Add salt and green onion, cooking uncovered for about 3 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
