Tandoori fruits with tangy sauce

I love fruits as their freshness and colouful presence adds an extra touch to daily dose.I try bringing all  seasonal ones as scientists say its right to include seasonal veggies and fruits in your diet, it equalises the needs like watermelon fulfills the need of water diet in summers and fights dehydration.So these days we do get anything and everything all year round but natural ones of particular times are essential to incorporate.Tandoori food is healthy be it veggies or chicken as least use of oil and right cooking technique turns it healthiest options to go for.So why not try fruits this way.Collect all your favourite ones but not banana and papaya.
Ingredients:
1)Pineapple chunks
2)Cantaloupe chunks
3)Apple chunks
4)Black grapes and Kiwi
5)Strawberries
6)Bellpepper all colours
7)Lemon juice
8)Honey
9)Green chilli and Mint paste
10)Salt(preferably blacksalt)
11)Tamarind extract
First we marinate the chunks of fruits with tamarindpaste ,honey,chilli and mint paste and salt.Honey's sweetness and tamarind's tangyness adds great flavours to evening snack time.
Then dipped marinated fruits are put on skewer and put in oven for roasting or grill.
We do that till they are golden shrunken  with blackened edges.
Serve hot with any tangy chutney and lemon juice over it.
Children would love it for its taste and colour,I' m sure mummies are happy too!!!!
