The pulp inside varies from pale yellow to pink and tastes sweet and tart when ripe. This citrus fruit is rich in Vitamin C , antioxidants, and essential nutrients for good health and also aids in weight loss. It is a great snack and enjoyed as a healthy salad. There are other versions of this salad where fruits, stir-fried vegetables, or tofu are added.

1

Slice the pomelo or batabi into 4 pieces. Remove the outer thick skin and deseed them. This salad is to be consumed fresh so mix it as much as needed. Leftovers may release moisture and taste bitter if consumed later. Remove the pulp from the skin in chunks. Deseed and break the chunks as much needed and scramble it with hands.

To the scrambled pomelo pulp, add the rest of the ingredients and toss it in a bowl. Give it a standing time of 10 minutes so that sugar and salt melt and flavour of cilantro, mustard oil, and the heat from green chili gets incorporated into the salad. It is best served chilled. Enjoy Batabi Lebu Makha or Pomelo Salad fresh.
