Dahi baray (or dahi bhallay) are a popular snack in Pakistan. Especially in the month for Ramadan where they are served for Iftar (the sunset meal when Muslims break their fast) with other items such as fruit chaat, keema samosas, pakoras and chole chaat. They can also be served as a light snack with tea, or as a side with dinner, or as a component to make mix chaat or dahi baray chaat. It is also a common street food snack, with vendors coming up with their unique toppings, and spice mixes.
Dahi baray are made by grinding white lentils into a paste which is then fried to make lentil fritters. The fried lentils are then soaked in luke warm water till soft, and then added into a creamy yoghurt sauce. The soft and pillowy dahi baray are then topped with spices and sauces. The most common spices include roasted and ground cumin powder (bhuna zeera), red chili powder and salt along with a tamarind chutney and green chutney.
Fruit chaat is the Pakistani version of a fruit salad. Seasonal fruits are diced and mixed with sugar, orange juice and chaat masala. It’s a super refreshing sweet, tangy and spicy fruit salad. In Pakistan, fruit chaat is usually eaten for Iftar during the month of Ramadan. Fruits are also healthy and provide much needed nutrition.
The beauty of fruit chaat is that pretty much any fruit can be used to make it. However, it is best made with seasonal fruit, which is why a winter fruit chaat will have a different assortment of ingredients versus a summer fruit chaat. The choice of the fruit used in a fruit chaat depends on the variety of fruits available in your country, as well as personal preference. Traditionally in Pakistan, commonly used fruits are bananas, apples, guavas and grapes. Depending on availability other fruit such as oranges, mangoes, peaches, nectarines, pomegranates, strawberries, kiwifruit, blueberries are also added.
How to make Pakistani fruit chaat?
•Start off with dicing your fruit. It’s best to dice by hand. Avoid using a food processor as that can turn your fruit into fruit mince, which is not the texture you are going for. Cut all fruit roughly the same size. Apples, pears and any other fruit that can oxidize should be sprinkled with lemon juice to stop them from browning. If using bananas, it’s best to add them a few minutes before serving because they can turn soft and mushy.
•Season: Add sugar, chaat masala and orange juice. The quantity of sugar used may need to be adjusted depending on the fruits used. Instead of sugar, honey can also be used. If oranges are in season, use fresh orange juice. Otherwise, bottled orange juice can be used.
•Let the chaat sit: Mix the fruits and spices together, and then let them sit for about 10 minutes, and then serve. This lets the flavors blend together and creates a delicious fruit juice that tastes absolutely delicious.

A pair of GEs shove a westbound-to-eastbound train out of the UP Belt Yard and onto home rails at Westminster for a trip across Wisconsin. There will be no stalling to entertain East Hump on this morning.
For a day or two, or perhaps a few decades this truck has been stalled in the desert near Hackberry, Arizona.
Happy Truck Thursday!
I shot this fish stall at Jakarta Chinatown one rainy morning, seems not a good business day for these fish sellers.
As we say goodbye to 2013, I thought I would pay tribute to one of my first explores, which I revisited over the years. Unfortunately this urbex chapter has now ended and this location has been demolished.
Heres to all the great locations I have been and all the fantastic people I have met, some which have become ace friends.
I look forward to more!!
Happy New Year and love to all my contacts, friends and followers :)
