May 25, 2018 Holi Recipes, Ice Creams, Mango Recipes, Summer Special  No comments

I have been craving for some kulfi since a long time. As mangoes are in season made this Mango Kulfi. This is a short cut version of the traditional method with condensed milk and cream. Saw this recipe in milkmaid website and tweaked it a bit to arrive at this recipe. Trust me this is so easy and can be made in a few mins. But the boring part is to wait for it to freeze/set. Its worth it! 🙂 The smell of mangoes along with cream and cardamom is divine! Do check my simple Mango Ice Cream recipe too..

June 7, 2017 Carrot, Drinks, Summer Special  One comment

Fresh juices, ice creams & milkshakes are the need of the hour now. Especially in Chennai, the heat waves have not gone down yet. This Carrot Orange Juice is an easy and refreshing juice to beat the heat. Chotu is a big fan of orange juice. Any sort of fizzy/aerated drink is a big NO at home. Chotu does not like them either. Not much fancy ingredients are needed here. So enjoy this simple and refreshing drink. Check my other summer treats HERE!

Mango Milkshake is one of the most popular milkshakes. We do not get good varieties of mangoes here. This time happened to get a very sweet and yummy batch of Kesar Mangoes from the Indian shop. The mangoes were really very juice and soft to handle. We enjoyed a couple of mangoes as is, some went into the Mango Icecream and the rest in this Mango Milkshake. This is a simple, thick and creamy milkshake recipe, perfect for the summer and season!!

Muskmelon Smoothie – Cantaloupe Smoothie

June 9, 2015 Drinks, Summer Special  9 comments

Muskmelon or canataloupe or khirni pazham (in tamil) is a refreshing fruit, perfectly hydrating for the summer. I can have this as is, but Chotu is such a fussy eater especially when it comes to fruits. This Muskmelon Smoothie is yet another successful attempt 

I still remember those young days, when we used to dry the seeds in the sun and eat it. Due to less sunlight here, I just discarded them 

So here u go with a simple and truly exhilarating drink, and if u are a fussy person like Chotu this is for you
