Mango Lassi is a very popular yogurt based drink in India. It is mostly enjoyed in hot months of May,June and July.

Adding Walnuts to lassi makes it more nutritious. Walnuts are good source of alpha-linolenic acid [ALA], an essential omega-3 fatty acid.

Mango is an excellent source of vitamin A and C. Helps in developing immune system, vision and bone growth




Ingredients:

Mango - choose ripe mangoes or store bought mango pulp
Yogurt
Walnuts
Honey or table sugar or brown sugar
Rose water - few drops to get the fragrance
Water - to adjust consistency

Method:

Combine 3 parts yogurt and 1 part mango pulp and rest of the ingredients and blend them in a mixer. Adjust for sweetness and consistency and its ready to be served. Generally, it is served chilled with crushed ice. Enjoy !!!

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
