Mango Delight

Kept some milk to boil, but alas it had split, so decided to go all the way and squeezed in half a lime and waited for the curdling process to complete. Strained the excess water and was just about to place in a muslin cloth when i noticed half a mango in the fridge. There was born a quick dessert idea... 

What i had :

Himapasand Mango- Half [ lovely and ripe]- chopped up
Curdled milk- smooth and light- 1/2cup
Sugar syrup - 1 tsp
Ice cubes- 5-10

Process:

1. In a blender, add all the ingredients and blitz till it becomes smooth
2. Refrigerate/ or enjoy as it is.... It was divine!!!

It is the perfect dessert as Mangos are in season and who would resist a chill dessert on a hot summer day!!

Strawberry smoothie

Bells were going off in my Tummy as it was breakfast time and i had completely forgotten to make Oats or Porridge in the morning frenzy.. Did what i do under such circumstances. Open the fridge, stand in front of it as if a light bulb will burst in my head and ideas will flow.. 

Well, lucky me! I did spot just what i wanted and voila, breakfast was ready in a jiffy... My eyes fell on a box of strawberries with a few left huddled up in a corner and a small tub of beaten curd.. Grabbed the ice cube tray and headed for the kitchen... 

Strawberry smoothie in a jiffy i call it.. :-) 

There was enough for the 3 of us, Grandparents slurped it up, and have since then been asking me how i made it, what was the secret to the richness and creaminess... 

Recipe

Strawberries - 3 per person 

Curd or yoghurt- 2 tbsp per person

Ice cubes- 2-3 per person

Mixer 

Sugar/Honey- optional
