I told about my Moong bean series in my Moong bean khichdi post but suddenly my laptop is not working and unfortunately I took backup only in my laptop, hoping it starts working again. I thought I will take a break but me and my break always happens for months together so this time I just want the momentum to go and decided to publish from phone. Let’s see how it goes😊

Recently I have shared oven roasted broccoli fry in my Instagram post as a side for a Biryani. Couple of friends asked step by step procedure. I have seen many people sharing recipes in IG stories but I haven’t shared it. With the thought of posting it in IG I took stepwise picture and broccoli picture in phone and now it has become my blog post😊

Instant Mango Shrikand is a quick dessert prepared with mangoes and sour cream. Traditional shrikand is prepared with hung curd. Tasty dessert can be prepared within 5 minutes. No whisking - with just a mixie blender, this is one of simplest dessert with mangoes.

February is almost over but I still have two more dessert recipes pending to post. When I started “Sweet February” I wanted to post Mango Shrikand initially, but then I thought February is too early for a mango recipe so I decided to postpone this post for coming summer. Off-late I started seeing mangoes in shops, yes may be it is time for a mango pudding😋

You must have known my addiction for mangoes based on the mango-based recipes I have posted in TMF. This Aamrakhand is my son’s recent favorite. I should say a bakery near home made him addicted for this dessert.

Last summer when my parents came, and Amma experimented with some sweets with Almond flour. Ever since my childhood days, I am a big fan of Laddu. Rava Laddu was one of my all-time favorite sweets. Almonds are good for health so we got all excited while experimenting recipes. I know if it is taken with sugar, some of us won’t put it in the healthy category.

Finally, there is a drink to enjoy😋 This is an Indian version of Almond milk. Almond milk I see here is prepared with almonds, and those are vegan, but this one is prepared with cow’s milk.

When I was a child my favorite summer drinks were mtr and poonam Badam drink. Both differ slightly in taste and also texture. I prefer chopped almonds that I get to bite while drinking the milk, but my sister prefers the other. Chennai's summer days outing never ended without Badam milk.

Here is one with a healthy almond meal.😋

This Badam Burfi is my MIL recipe. I am a big fan of her Maida Burfi. Every time she visits us her Maida burfi, Sweet kozhukattai, and Sweet poli happen frequently. One day seeing the Almond meal in the pantry she wanted to try a Burfi with it. I am so glad that happened, nowadays this Burfi overtakes maida Burfi.

My son is Amma’s boy when it comes to taste. He is also having a big sweet tooth. If I ask him what sweet he want for any special occasion, Kesari, Palgova and paal payasam come without any delay.
