Mango Milkshake - Its mango season

Last year, it was rain and this year it was Sun, who proved fatal to Mango crop(Alphonso). But just like any other year, I got my share of Mangoes and that to plenty. This is a bonus to be born in Konkan area. Personally, I prefer mangoes in its original taste rather using them up in shakes, icecreams etc. But husband can have mangoes in any form and insist on using them up in shakes, icecreams etc. Marriage is certainly about being opposite and thats the beauty of it.
So here i have used the king of fruit in thick mango milkshake. It was filling and healthy.
Igredients :-
Mango :- 3 (fully ripe)
Milk :- 1 half ltr(Cold)
Cream :- 2 TBS
Sugar :- As per taste
Procedure :-
  • Remove the skin of mangoes and cut into cubes. Reserve few for garnishing
  • Puree the same in blender.

DOSA - SUNDAY MORNING FEAST



Sundays are basically meant for lazing around. After a hectic week , you definitely deserve a break to break away from all routines. For my family, it’s a heavy breakfast followed by a light lunch further followed by a good afternoon sleep or a running aimlessly through the TV channels and evening outing. I was trying to figure out for a good, tasty and healthy breakfast and finally zeroed in on apna DOSA, accompanied with masala (Potato subzi)and coconut chutney. My personal favorite is thinnest Dosa with garamagaram Chai.
Here goes the recipe :-

Ingredients :-

Bolied Rice :- 1 Cup

Urad Dal :- 1/2 Cup

Fenugreek Seeds :- 1/2 tsp

  • Heat the non-stick pan, and pour the batter over it and spread it over it.
