Plum & Coconut Yogurt Ice Lollies

By -
My husband is quite fond of desserts and chocolates; and he essentially needs something after dinner to satiate his sweet cravings. So, yesterday when I was making the plum compote, I already had in my mind to use it in preparing these delicious ice lollies which are loaded with goodness of yogurt, power-packed nutrients from the plums and a mild & refreshing taste from coconut. If you have the compote/preserve handy, they can be simply made in a jiffy and without requiring too much of an effort. Also, I have used coconut flavored Greek yogurt, you can make it with plain yogurt too. Here's the complete recipe for the same.



Ingredients (makes 4)

2-3 tbsp Plum Compote (store bought plum jam or preserve would work as fine)
1-2 tbsp coconut flavored Greek yogurt (or you can also flavor the plain yogurt with some coconut cream and sugar; it would work too)



Method

1. Pour the compote in popsicle moulds such that they are filled 1/3rd.
2. Let these moulds sit in the freezer for about an hour after which, place a popsicle stick in their middle.
3. Also, fill 1/3rd of the portion with coconut yogurt and again pop them in freezer to sit for an hour.
4. After the two layers are set, top it with another layer of compote and let these lollies set for good 5 to 6 hours after which, enjoy them chilled.

South Indian Rice Idli Recipe | Steamed Rice Cakes

By -
Image
Idli is a round, steamed cake traditionally made of lentils and short-grain rice. Not to mention, it is one of the healthiest breakfast recipes of Indian cuisine and a staple food of South India. Authentically, idli is made using a semi-thick fermented batter made of urad dal and short grain rice; however there are many other varieties too such as Rava Idli , Oats Idli , and Poha or Avial Idli etc. that are enjoyed in Indian homes. Recently I also made Instant Moong Dal Idli which was a great hit with my family. While all these varieties are instant, quick, easy to make and require no fermentation, yet the traditional rice & lentil idli (the recipe of which I am going to share today) is one that has no comparison. Spongy, fluffy and pillowy soft, these idlis are best enjoyed with the traditional South Indian Sambar and Coconut Chutney on the side. So, if you have been looking for the best recipe to make these traditional Rice Idlis, I must say, you are on the correct page. L...

Lychee (Litchi) and Cherry Lemonade

Come summers and I eagerly wait for two of the most incredibly delicious fruits of the season: cherries and litchis. So colorful, juicy and flavorful, they have been my favorites since childhood. Though I love to eat them as is, being a foodie and off-course a food blogger , I also try to put them to use in different food preparations as well. For those who have been following my blog would know how much I love to play with different ingredients especially when it comes to drinks and beverages ; for instance my recipe of " Peach Pomegranate & Rose Agua Fresca " was the outcome of one such experiment. Not to exaggerate, it was truly loved by my family and friends; and believe me, it remained in great demand at our place for days..... But as you would agree, after a while, it tends to get a little boring, tasting the same old flavors every now and then. So, finally it was time for me to again come up with some new and interesting recipe that would help beat this sco...

I am always on a look out for recipes that are easy and quick to put together. One of my favorite amongst such recipes is of classic Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio . Simple boiled pasta drizzled with garlic infused olive oil, a dash of chili flakes and some Parmesan makes for a perfect week night dinner when I am too tired or lazy to make anything elaborate. While this simple and vintage recipe in itself is such flavorful and aromatic, yet at times it may feel a little boring to have it the classic way. That is the reason, to make it look little more vibrant, I sometimes add few veggies to it. And today, I am here with my veggie version of this traditional Italian Spaghetti - Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio with Mushrooms and Olives . Enjoy !! Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio with Mushrooms and Olives Ingredients Dried Spaghetti - 1 pound (450 grams) Finely sliced garlic - 8 to 10 cloves Olive oil - 1/4 cup Butter - 2 tbsp Mushrooms (quartered) - 1 cup Black olives (sliced) - 1/4 cup Salt - as pe...

The holy month of Shravan or Sawan is here; dedicated to Hindu God, Lord Shiva, the month is considered extremely auspicious and brings with it, lots of festivities and religious events to celebrate. Teej, Nag Panchami, Raksha Bandhan, Krishna Janmashtmi and Maha Shivratri are some of the popular festivals that are celebrated during this holy month.  Not to mention, for us Indians, festivals and celebrations stand synonymous to different kinds of traditional sweets and mithais...and amongst all, the Rajasthani Ghevar is something without which, sawan celebrations are incomplete.

Best Creamiest Chocolate Kulfi | Indian Style Chocolate Ice Cream

By -
Image
Kulfi is one of the most popular Indian desserts loved by people of all age groups. Its rich, creamy and decadent texture comes from the use of full fat milk, milk solids and cream - that is the reason, kulfi is also often called the Indian version of Ice Creams. An ultimate treat for the sweet lovers, it is available in lots of flavors; while Mango Kulfi , Rose & Almond Kulfi and Kesar Pista Khoya Malai Kulfi have been an all time favorite with my family and I make them for sure every summers, however, this time I thought of deviating from the traditional route and give the kulfi a more cosmopolitan touch by flavoring it with chocolate. Trust me, it came out so decadent and tasty that it got finished in no time. And the texture of the kulfi oozing with all that creaminess was to die for! Sitting in the lockdown, if you too are looking forward to elevate your morale and get out of that gloominess, this chocolate kulfi is surely going to be a breather. Very simple to mak...
