Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium star fruits
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 green chili or to taste
  • ¼ tsp salt for the spice mix
  • ½ tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp jaggery or sweetener of choice
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper or red chili powder

Method
 

  1. Trim both ends of the star fruit and slice into star-shaped rounds. Remove any seeds and set aside.
  2. Grind cilantro, green chili, and ¼ tsp salt using a blender or a mortar and pestle. Do not add water — the herbs will release moisture naturally.
  3. Add the green paste to the sliced star fruit and toss gently.
  4. Add black salt, jaggery, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well coated.
  5. Enjoy fresh for maximum crunch and brightness.

Notes

Choose ripe star fruit — slightly yellow with green edges for best flavor.
Adjust sweetness based on how tangy your star fruit is.
Add more chili if you prefer a spicier salad.
Serve immediately; star fruit softens if kept mixed for too long.
Add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness if your fruit is mild.
