Method of Preparation

For Tropical Fruit Salsa

  • Roughly chop 5-6 slices of pineapple, 1 star fruit, 4-5 strawberries, ¼ yellow bell pepper, and ¼ red bell pepper.
  • Add the chopped fruits and bell peppers to the Chutney Jar of the Mixer Grinder.
  • Add 3-4 green chillies to the jar for a spicy kick.
  • Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the jar for a tangy flavour.
  • Add salt as per your taste preferences.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chilli powder for a hint of heat.
  • Use the Coarse Mode of the Atomberg Mixer Grinder to blend the ingredients into a chunky Mexican fruit dip.
  • Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra pieces of chopped fruits for presentation.

For Curry Leaf & Mint Hummus

  • Boil 150 grams of peas in water for 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
  • Remove the boiled peas from the water using a sieve spoon and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
  • Transfer the cooled boiled peas to the Mixer Grinder.
  • Grind the peas on the third-speed setting for 4-5 minutes until they form a smooth paste.
  • Open the jar of the Mixer Grinder and add 2-3 green chillies, 3-4 cloves of garlic, 7-8 curry leaves, and some fresh coriander.
  • Spoon in a tablespoon of Tahini paste for added creaminess.
  • Add salt according to your taste preferences.
  • Squeeze the juice of a lemon into the mixture for a zesty flavour.
  • Grind the ingredients again for 2 minutes on the third-speed setting until everything is well combined.
  • Transfer the hummus mixture to a plate and spread it evenly across the surface.

Now, for the tadka (tempering):

  • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan.
  • Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and curry leaves to the pan to create the tadka.
  • Pour the tadka mixture over the spread hummus on the plate.
  • Sprinkle some chilli powder on top for an extra kick of spice.

Pointed Gourd Bharta Guacamole

  • Char 3 pointed gourds on a gas flame, rotating them to cook evenly on all sides until they are tender and the skin is charred.
  • Once the pointed gourds are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and let them cool slightly.
  • Roughly chop an onion and a tomato.
  • Chop the cooked pointed gourds roughly into pieces.
  • Transfer all the chopped vegetables to the Chutney Jar of the Mixer Grinder.
  • Add 100 grams of peas, two green chillies (adjust according to spice preference), and salt to taste into the jar.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of red chilli powder for added flavour and spice.
  • Use the Coarse Mode of the Mixer Grinder to blend the ingredients into a coarse texture. This helps maintain the chunky consistency of the guacamole.
  • Blend until you achieve the desired texture, ensuring the ingredients mix well but retain their individual textures.
  • Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl.
  • Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrusy flavour.
