Tips & Substitutions

If you prefer a spicy kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Ensure the foil is tightly wrapped to prevent juices from leaking and to keep the fruit moist while grilling.

For a more savory option, enjoy it alongside chapati or bhatura. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness, making it a perfect end to a spicy meal.
