Fusion Chickoo Tacos
#winterfruits
Chickoo is not only a delicious fruit but a highly nutritious one too. It’s main feature is that it provides our body with iron. With the arrival of winters, the markets are flooded with a lot of seasonal fruits including chickoos.
Nowadays we even get dried chickoo chips for healthy snacking. For breakfast or for the evening snack, we all need something filling as well as nutritious, without compromising on the taste. Racked my brains to create something new and delicious using this awesome fruit and came up with this idea where I have created a fusion of tacos with our Indian chaat in the most unique way by using chickoos as the base!
Here, the chutneys can be prepared beforehand and refrigerated till use. The sweet potatoes too can be pre boiled and stored in the refrigerator. So basically, most of the task can be completed beforehand, making the task levels easier!
Though I have pan roasted the tacos, they can be baked by adding some baking powder to the dough, to get crisp ones too. This dish turned out delicious and was a heat with my family. The caramelised sweet potatoes complement the chickoo tacos very well. And you won’t believe it, but the spicy green chutney goes very well alongwith the pomegranate chutney and lifts the overall taste to a different level!
