How to make Fruit Salad

Recipe by Naiya Sheth: Learn how to make Fruit Salad. This is a very popular  milk base fruit salad recipe. It is used as desert or as sweet during lunch or dinner. In earlier recipe we learn about cream salad. It is a cream base recipe but this is a custard base recipe. A thick custard is added to finely chopped fruits. I am using vanilla custard but any custard can be used. Thickness can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the quantity of custard powder. Again it is served with double roti or puri.
