Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Desserts, Ice-Creams N Puddings

Hey its my 200th post:-)) ...i am very delighted and bit shocked also that so soon i reached my 200th post...indeed its a achievement for me...I had started this blog just for fun and storage purpose initially, but later when i got many new blogger friends i got very much interested in it and cause of you all my dear friends i am able to reach this milestone...ur sweet and inspiring comments encouraged me more to prepare and post many interesting recipes here...Now this blog is become a important part for me and and u all are like a big family to me...thank you all my dear friends so visiting my blog and commenting....

Since its my 200th post i wanted to post a sweet dessert recipe and what can be better than a home made strawberry ice cream... i had prepared this some days back as i had loads of strawberries and it came out very well, soft and yummy...I have not used any gelatin in it so its a vegetarian version, but still it was very soft and tasty too...I had also added chopped strawberry pieces which enhanced its taste..we all enjoyed it a lot...but u require little more patience to make it soft.

HAPPY HOLI 2 ALL OF YOU...NJOY IT A LOT...!!!

INGREDIENTS:

500 ml semi skimmed milk
1 cup condensed milk
2-3 table spoons milk powder
1 cup fresh strawberry puree( or strawberry crush)
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup chopped strawberry pieces
2 tea spoons of corn flour

METHOD:

Take 1/2 cup milk in a bowl and add milk powder and corn flour and stir it well.Boil the remaining milk in a non stick pan.When the milk starts boiling add the corn flour and milk powder mixed milk and stir it countinously on low flame, do not allow any lumps to form.

Stir it countinously and let it simmer on low flame till the mixture thickens and coats on the spoon.Remove it from flame and let it cool.

Now when its cooled add the sugar,strawberry puree and condensed milk and blend it for 1-2 mins till it forms a smooth mixture.Pour it in a container and freeze till firm.

When its set after some hours remove it and blend it again for 1-2 mins till it melts fully and again freeze it for 5-6 hours.Agian blend it and mix the chopped strawberry pieces in it and let it set for 7-8 hours or till it gets firm.

This blending and setting of ice cream is done again and again to make it soft...when the ice cream sets for the first time and u blend it the small ice crystals formed are broken and next time when u set it less ice crystals r formed which u break again in second time blending so ice cream becomes more soft.

After final setting of 7-8 hours ice cream will be ready to serve.Scoop it and drizzle some strawberry crush and serve.

Eggless Caramel Pudding...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Desserts, Ice-Creams N Puddings, Sweets

Caramel pudding is a very famous dessert everywhere.Its mostly made using egg, so vegetarians cannot enjoy it...But this version of caramel pudding which i have made is eggless one and is as tasty as the egg version.Infact i like it more then the egg version as it doesnt have that egg smell and is very tasty too. In this pudding i have used agar-agar to give the consistency of egg.

INGREDIENTS:

450 ml milk
5 gm agar- agar(plain china grass)
3 tea spoon vanilla custard powder
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
1 tea spoon vanilla essence
4 tea spoons brown sugar/ sugar(for caramelising)

METHOD:

Soak agar-agar in 1 cup of water for an hour. Take a metal container and take the caramelising sugar in it.Add one tea spoon of water to it and heat it till it caramelises to brown colour.Now spread it on the container evenly.

Keep the milk for boiling.When milk gets little warm remove 3 table spoons of milk from it and mix custard powder with it and keep.Add sugar in the remaining milk and let it boil.

When the milk boils add the custard mixture and stir it well.Keep the flame low when adding the custard mixture.Continue stirring the milk so that no lumps are formed.

Meanwhile boil the soaked agar-agar till it melts fully in water and forms a transparent gel.When the custard mixture becomes a smooth and slightly thick paste, add the hot agar-agar Solution and boil for more 2-3 mins.

Remove it from flame and strain the hot mixture.Add vanilla essence in it and stir well.Cool it a little and pour into caramelised mould. Refrigerate it for 3-4 hours to set fully.

When serving tilt the mould on a plate and slice the pudding and serve.

Mango Dryfruit IceCream...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Desserts, Ice-Creams N Puddings

Who does not like ice creams?...there will be hardly very few in that list. But i just love ice creams. Though they are high in calories, once in a while they are ok to have:-))

I had never tried making ice cream right from scratch, i had always used it making some ready made packets or relied over baskins or gelato. As home made ice creams were not as soft as those ready made ones,they always had ice crystals. But i found this simple recipe and i got very eagar to try it. I tried it with my changes and it came out very well. It was very soft and tasty,no ice cystals at all, you can make it out by seing its pic.Though it tuk lot of effort and patience,but at the end those efforts were worth:-))

INGREDIENTS:

500 ml whole milk

200 ml canned mango pulp

200 ml condensed milk

11/2 cup dryfruits(cashew nuts ,pistachio)

1/4 cup raisins

3-4 tea spoon sugar

METHOD:

Boil milk and let it get cooled.When its cooled perfectly then only proceed with the next steps.

Mix condensed milk,cooled milk, sugar and mango pulp and blend it for 1 min. Now add 1/2 cup chopped dryfruits ans blend again for 2 mins.

Now put it in setting bowl and place in a freezer. Let it get set for 2-3 hours. After 2-3 hours remove it and again blend the mixture for 1-2 mins till it becomes very smooth and again freeze it for 4-5 hours.

Remove it again and blend it again and freeze for more 3-4 hours. Again remove it and blend it well for 2 mins. Now mix the chopped remaining dryfruits and freeze the mixture for 7-8 hours or till it sets fully.

Remove Scoops and garnish with your favourite toppings and serve.

NOTE: You can even remove pulp of fresh mangoes and use. I have used less sugar as the canned pulp already contains it. Adjust sugar according to your taste.

Blending half set ice cream again and again helps to break the ice crystals formed in it, thus giving it a smooth and soft texture. If you want you can blend it once more for more good results, but you need to have patience:-))

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Desserts, Goan Dishes, Ice-Creams N Puddings, Sweets

Kharvas is made from colostrum milk also called as first milk.It is produced by cows for few days after gving birth to a calf.Usually it is prepared by the first 3 days milk from the cows who gave birth to calves. It is one of my favourite sweets. This is shravan month and its said that many cows give birth to calfs mostly in this season. So you get lot of this milk in this month.It tastes very nice and is famous in goa,maharahtra and karnataka. In most of the sweet shops they sell this sweet dish, but they do not use colostrum milk at all. They use normal thick milk and mix some other ingredients in it to get the thickeness. It tastes best only with colostrum milk.

INGREDIENTS:

1 litre colostrum milk

400 ml fresh coconut milk

1 cup jaggery

2 tea spoon jeera powder(cumin)

1 table spoon khaskhas(poppy seeds)

1 tea spoon turmeric

1/4 nutmeg

4 table spoon cashewnut pieces

1 tea spoon cardoman powder

METHOD:

Take the colostrum milk in a bowl. Mix the jaggery in it so that it dissolves completely in it. add jaggery according to your taste.

Now take a mixer and add cashew nuts, cumin powder, poppy seeds, turmeric powder. Grate a little nutmeg in it and grind the mixer to a paste.

Mix this paste with the milk and jaggery mixture.now add the coconut milk and cardoman powder to it and mix well to form a even mixture.

Pour it into a vessel and steam for 20 mins. It will became hard.Let it cool.

After 2-3 hours of colling cut into pieces and serve . It needs some standing time of 2-3 hours then it tastes its best.Can be served chilled also.
