Guava with Spiced Salt
A classic Indian street-style fruit snack where crisp, lightly tart fruit wedges are dressed with lime juice and a fiery-savoury spiced salt of roasted cumin, black pepper and ginger, finished with fresh mint. Nothing is cooked — it is assembled minutes before eating so the fruit stays crisp and the spices stay bright.
