Winners: Street Food / Dhaba Food and Giveaway

Its here! I finally have the winners of the Street Food | Dhaba Food Recipe and Giveaway @ Annarasa ~ Essence of Food. Let me begin with a hearty Thank You to each and every one who participated in this Food Event and sent in all those delicious recipes. I received a total number of 70 recipe entries - 69 of which were collected via Inlinkz on the Contest Page and one that I received via email from a non-blogger. After a review of these entries and adding together the additional possibilities for entries via Twitter and Google Connect as per the rules, I used Random.Org to generate the two winning entries.

I would like to begin with guest posting the recipe sent to me by Jeeja Jaison who sent in the delectable recipe of Fruit Chaat. You can find her at her FB page: Manna N Quail. Here is what Jeeja writes:

Fruit chaat is delicious and simple to prepare street food in North India. This chaat is a blend of spices and assorted fruits based on seasonal availability.

Fruit chaat is a great way to eat fruits anytime. This dish is packed with nutrients and is also low in calories.

Ingredients:
1 orange peeled and sectioned
1 apple peeled and cubed
1 banana sliced
1 cup cucumber peeled and cubed
1/2 cup pineapple cubed
4-5 strawberries sliced

4-5 grape  tomatoes
Few mint leaves for garnish

Dressing:
2 tsp chaat masala
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1.5 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds powder
1/4 tsp black salt

Method:
In a large bowl, combine all the sliced fruits, cucumber and tomato together. Add lemon juice and toss well. Add chaat masala, chilli powder, black salt and mix well so as to get a balance of sweet, spicy and tangy flavours. Serve cold with a garnish of mint leaves and roasted cumin powder.

Note:-
You can use any fruit that you like and adjust the spiciness as per your taste.
