I think they didnt mean to actually dry the fruit but to dry it with a papertowel, maybe squeezing a bit to get excess water out.I also would try a little less fruit in the mix as well so it will stick better..Once he starts getting used to the flavor maybe he will start eating it in chunks better.
You could also try putting meat babyfood on the fruit chunks so you dont have to mix everything together like that, thats how I started mine.

Another thing is to try and start feeding outside the cage.I had a skink that got a bowel obstruction from swallowing its food with some substrate(aspen bedding) on it.Tegus are bigger so maybe that is less likely to happen to them, dont know.
