Mango with chilli to watermelon and feta: Inside the viral 'fricy' food trend

The 'fricy' food trend pairs summer fruits with spicy ingredients like chilli crisp, hot honey, and feta.

Chef Aanal Kotak notes the trend is a global reinterpretation of traditional Indian fruit-spice pairings.

Chef Sheeba Desouza says the sweet-savory combination triggers multiple senses, creating a richer experience.

Popular pairings include watermelon with feta and olive oil, and strawberries with balsamic glaze and black pepper.

The trend is boosted by social media appeal due to colorful, visually striking plates.
