Aamras Puri!


One of my favorite mango dishes is Aamras puri. It satiates my love for deep fried food and sweets. This has been a staple at home because we all love mangoes and Amma makes this for brunch during summers. The fact that it is such a simple recipe only makes it a more desirable dish. Here’s how you make it!



Ingredients:
5 Raspuri/Payri mangoes
1 Glass of milk
Sugar (according to taste)
6 Elaichi/Cardamom pods finely powdered
Fistful of raisins/kishmish
Fistful of chopped cashews


Method:

1.Thoroughly wash the mangoes and peel them.
2.Put mango pulp in the mixer and if you are up for it squish out the pulp around the seed and put the same in the mixer.
3.Once you have the juice ready, taste it. If required, add sugar. Then quickly mix the same and add a glass of milk and blend in the mixer again and transfer to a bowl.
4.Garnish it with cardamom powder and cashews and refrigerate.
Serve chilled with hot puris.

Ah... true but you can reduce the cardamom quantity if you like. I particularly like a hint of this spice in my dessert :)

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

Image
My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
