Method
Wash the strawberries and pat them dry, then hull them. Cut them in half, or in quarters if they are large.
Put them in a bowl with the lemon juice, chaat masala, cumin, black salt and chilli.
Toss gently until every piece is coated. Taste, and add sugar or a little more chaat masala if you like.
Leave for five minutes so the juices start to run. Tear over the mint and serve straight away.
Why it works with GreenBox strawberries
Chaat uses the fruit raw, so the strawberries matter more than anything else in the bowl. Ours are hand-picked at peak ripeness and delivered in hours, not days, and every plant starts from the same clean stock, so one punnet tastes like the next.
