Chefs are going all out to make use of fruits in a varied manner and enhance the flavours of their desserts. Not only do fruits add colour to a dish but also impart interesting and diverse flavours. Restaurants in Mumbai thus offer some exciting and creatively crafted desserts where fruits have been cleverly incorporated.
