Lahore, Pakistan is renowned for its lively culture, vibrant culinary traditions, famous ancient landmarks and bustling bazaars. One such bazaar is the Liberty Market, which is now the equivalent of the Hyde Park as political gathering are held here.

Liberty Market is one of the most famous and historic markets in the city with tons of eateries, shopping outlets, and other attractions. A lot of traders, retailers, and shopkeepers have been successfully running their businesses here for decades. Most of the shops in this marketplace deal in clothing and accessories, especially for women.

Some roadside eateries and food kiosks, which serve a wide variety of street food to shoppers and visitors alike. The most popular is gol gappay, and of course, fruit chaat which is named after the market—Liberty Market Fruit Chaat! The chaat has its own taste and texture which differentiates it from others.

I have never been to this famous shopping centre! But I have had their chaats and gol gappays in take away containers.

Today for Iftar I decided to replicate the Liberty Market Fruit Chaat with the fruit I had at hand (mentioned in the ingredients). Pineapple, mangoes, chiku (naseberry, or sapodilla) are mostly added to this chaat. So feel free to add whatever fruit you have.

The recipe is quite easy. Just mix together the chopped fruit with chickpeas, chaat masala and salt. Then combine the cream, mayo and sugar and pour over the fruit. Mix, chill, serve and enjoy!
