(Bhogate Sadeko)
3 tbsp ground sesame seeds
2 cups plain yogurt*
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
2 medium grapefruits, peeled and cut into small pieces (supreme)
4 oranges, peeled and cut into small pieces (supreme)
Lightly roast sesame seeds and grind to a powder in a coffee or spice mill. Mix sesame seed powder with yogurt, salt and sugar in a bowl. Stir in grapefruit and orange pieces. Chill and serve. For a spicy taste, add some ground red chili. For a different taste, add grapes, sliced in two. Enjoy!
*The only change my testers wanted in this recipe was a less “soupy” end result. It didn’t stop anyone from diving in! Next time, however, I choose between doubling the amount of fruit or cutting the dressing part in half. If grapefruit are in season more of the sweet, ruby fruit would work really well.
Grapefruit Salad combines unexpected elements in something that probably seems a bit like fruit slaw to someone used to eating Western foods. The dish however is phenomenally better than adding raisins to your coleslaw. (Stop that people! It’s just weird in my opinion.)
