I have been using an Indian Spice Mix for Fruit which I enjoy very
much.

The shake bottle is labeled Bumbu Asinine Bah and the rest of the
label has no English.

On the back there is a label that is headed by Cara membust Asinan.
It might be an inscription or a recipe.

I would like to get the SAME -- so if anyone has an idea what it is
and where I can get it -- Please Post.

========

Now, it may be the same as something called Chaat Masala -- which is
used on fruit. If someone would like to address this and provide more
information, I, and I am sure others, would appreciate it.

ANYWAY -- it's great. I use it on apples, oranges, peaches, pears,
mangos, plums, etc. I even mix a little with yogurt.

It really brings out a different taste to the fruit.

========

Sometimes I also use the enjoyable popular Hawaiian spice Li Hing or
Li Hing Mui on fruit. It is greatly used in Hawaii and should also be
used on the mainland if people find out about it.

This doesn't sound like any Indian language I know.

Depending on where you're located - the safest advice is to ask your
nearest Indian store, who is almost certain to stock several brands.

If you're feeling more adventurous, here's a recipe (google/yahoo can
give you many more variants)

Sounds Indonesian

Last month I was looking for a spice that one puts on
fruit. As I had purchased it in an Indian food market I
thought it was Indian. I posted a query in this forum.

'edspresso' suggested that the spice might be Indonesian.

I found an Indonesian product supplier on the Internet,
http://www.indokiosk.com/ and located some Bumbu Buah Pedas
which I was hoping was similar to Bumbu Asiana Buah.

It is similar, but not quite the same -- but it is also
very good with it's slightly different taste and I would
recommend it.

You can see it at: http://tinyurl.com/2b7pej for the price
of $1.99 a bottle (shake).

May I suggest...
Bumbu Buah

This spice is generally used on all types of fruit. Try it
on apples, oranges, peaches, mangos, pears, fruit salad,
pineapple, etc.

Please use it sparingly -- for it is strong. A very very
light dusting which can be increased as you get used to it.
Notice how the fruit changes taste. Notice the aftertaste
that you experience.

You can also try it mixed in yoghurt.

If you want, experiment with vegetables such as tomatoes,
carrots and potatoes. Try a little bit on everything to
see what works for you.

Give yourself time to acquire a taste. In the beginning
use a little bit so that the taste is enhancing and not
overpowering.

Let me know if you try it, how you like it.

If you run across Bumbu Asinan Buah please immediately let
me know where.

I did try the Indian spice Chaat Masala which was nice --
but not as nice as what I am suggesting above.
