    Mango mousse is a tasty dessert with three main ingredients. This egg-less, gelatin/agar-agar free recipe is a yummy dessert for mango season. Check out the video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

    My husband and I are extremely addicted to mangoes. We long for Alphonso and banganapalli mango we get In India. Mangoes we get here are different, but still when mangoes are in the season no grocery trip without mango.

    We recently went to an Indian restaurant for lunch, in buffet mango dessert was one which I enjoyed a lot. After returning home I couldn't resist myself from trying this tasty delicacy.

    My son love pudding and I have posted many pudding recipes in TMF,

    Chocolate pudding

    Nutella Avocado pudding

    Butterscotch pudding

    Mango chia pudding 

    Caramel pudding

    Banana pudding

    Apple rice pudding

    Mango shrikand

    IMG_3024

    I love easy recipes that involve fewer ingredients. This one with just three ingredients makes this mango mousse even more special. Yes, you heard me right.

    If you have some heavy cream and mangoes time for this rich and creamy dessert. Whisking heavy cream takes time and little effort but the taste answers all the whisking.

    Notes

    1. I didn’t use food color. Recently I updated final pictures with different kind of mangoes so the color change from step wide picture to the final picture
    2.  Chopped mangoes or other tropical fruit can be added to the mousse for extra flavor
    3. For preparing eggless mousse other fruit purée can be used instead of mangoes
    4. The cool whip can be used instead of heavy cream. In that case just mix cool whip, sugar (if required), vanilla extract and mango purée; refrigerate
    5. Sugar is optional. If mangoes are sweet, make mousse without sugar
    6. I have  used fresh mangoes but it can also be prepared with mango pulp
    7. If you are using  frozen mangoes defrost and then grind
    8. I used an electric hand mixer and did in maximum speed for 5 minutes

    Paal payasam | Rice Kheer | Milk Kheer

    May 21, 2014 By Vidya Srinivasan 15 Comments

    Paal payasam | Rice Kheer | Milk Payasam | Best Paal payasam with step by step pictures and video. Check out the paal payasam video recipe and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel Rich and tasty Paal payasam prepared with Rice and milk. Usual milk payasam takes a long time to cook this delicious rice payasam is cooked with a shortcut but no compromise in taste.   Whole fat milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk give yummy flavor to Rice Kheer. I start drooling whenever I think about the rice kheer my mom makes. One of my favorite desserts ever since childhood days. Rice kheer was my first choice for the special delicacy that I get on birthdays when I was a kid. More than me my sister loves Paal payasam. Whenever I cook milk Kheer these days I always wish I could send her a big cup. I have enjoyed milk kheer all through my life but when it comes to cooking it I took a step back after knowing the procedure.  When we moved to the U.K. I wanted to cook paal payasam for Diwali, called my Amma for the recipe. It sounded lengthy for me so I ended up doing Semiya payasam. Every time I think about paal payasam the lengthy method scares me. My recent addiction for pressure cooker made me give an attempt with a pressure cooker. I first tried cooking rice payasam in cooker but somehow I felt something was missing. I didn't get the Milk Kheer color. Usually milk is cooked hours together and the color is easily achieved. I was looking for some alternative way for quick paal payasam. I started using evaporated milk a lot in my cooking.  While making gravy instead of heavy cream, I add evaporated milk. After using evaporated milk for peas gravy I thought why not use it for payasam. Since we are using evaporated milk and condensed milk you can also call it semi-homemade payasam😊 It worked like a magic. Tres leches cakes taste great with three milk, this is Indian rich tasty take with whole fat milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk.  Sometimes pictures don't justify a dish, I have proved it with my payasam. Payasam tastes super delicious I couldn't succeed to show it with my clicks. Try this rich payasam. Paal payasam occupies a special role in Tamil Brahmin weddings and Kerala sadhya.

    Notes

    1. You can use Basmati Rice instead of Raw Rice
    2. Saffron can be used for extra flavor
    3. Condensed milk makes Milk Kheer thicker over time so adjust the consistency accordingly
    4. Paal payasam can be cooked directly in the pan but it takes a longer time
    5. Paal payasam can also be cooked in the instant pot. Saute the rice in saute mode and cook milk and rice for 18 minutes at a high temperature. continue the remaining process in saute mode
    6. Heavy cream can be added for richness
    7. Adjust the milk according to the consistency you desire
    8. Pulsing the rice gives a nice texture to the payasam. Avoid making the rice into powder 
    9. Cardamom powder can be added for extra flavor
    10. If desired add nuts of your choice for extra flavor
    11. Depending on the rice, milk quantity may vary slightly. If you think Payasam is turning thick add 1/2 - 1 cup milk extra.

    Should I use rice for Pesarattu?

    Traditionally Rice is not added to Moong dal dosai but personally, I like the texture of the mong dal dosai with little rice hence I add it all the time. If you prefer healthy pesarattu without rice skip it. 

    Can I use fresh ginger for Moong dal dosai?

    Yes, traditionally fresh ginger is used for making pesarattu. While taking the video for the Moong dal pesarattu dosai recipe I was out of fresh ginger hence I used ginger powder

    Can I use moong dal instead of green moong bean?

    Yes, you can use the same amount of moong dal instead of green moong beans. With fewer carbs, Green moong bean adai dosai is such a healthy dish for kids and Adults. Check out other moong bean-based recipes in TMF. If you like lentil-based  tiffin varieties try adai varieties 

    Do I need to ferment Moong bean dosa batter?

    No, you can grind and make the pesarattu immediately, You need to soak the moong bean for 8 hours but with the soaked bean this is one instant dosa variety,

    What should be the consistency of Moong dal dosai batter?

    The batter should be like regular dosa batter consistency. Avoid thick batter as it will make the dosa hard.

    Tomato Onion Chutney | Thakkali Vengaya Chutney

    May 19, 2014 By Vidya Srinivasan 6 Comments

    IMG_2617

    Tomato onion chutney is my favorite among all chutneys. I call it red chutney. I never get bored of it. Easy to prepare and tastes yummy with many dishes.

    Ever since my childhood days, Thakkali vengaya chutney is my favorite. Extra idli/dosai will go if Amma prepares this chutney. Usually, Amma saute onion and then tomato; let it cool and grind it but this version is my neighbor aunty's recipe.

    Aunty call it "Sammandhi Chutney". One day when talking with Amma she told me that idli and tomato chutney is for breakfast. Amma told her that I like tomato chutney. Immediately she gave me one box. I enjoyed that chutney and loved the bright red color. Amma asked her how she prepared it and she gave this recipe.

    FEW THOGAYAL VARIETIES ARE POSTED IN TMF,

    • Thengai Thogayal 
    • Paruppu Thogayal 
    • kothamalli Vidhai  Thogayal 
    • Beetroot thogayal
    • Mint Chutney
    • Vengaya Thogayal
    • Sutta Kathirikai Chutney
    • Zucchini Thogayal
    • Kollu thogayal

    IMG_2622

    The good thing about this chutney is no continuous stirring, grind everything together and boil.  When I posted this recipe I use to prepare this way. 

    Tomato onion chutney stays good for 2-3 days. You can prepare it during the weekend and use it during the week which makes it simple for a busy mornings.

    Cantaloupe Smoothie

    May 15, 2014 By Vidya Srinivasan 3 Comments

    Ever since childhood, summers call for muskmelon juice. I stil remember those days, when every summer we have muskmelon juice at least once a week. While searching for muskmelon in grocery store, I saw cantaloupe and honey dew. Though both are new to me, I bought cantaloupe. Cantaloupe was sweeter than muskmelon, we loved to eat that as a fruit but tried smoothie and it turned to be flavorful.
