#mangoicecream🍨 #vartfoodrecipes👩‍🍳❤️😋✨️ #Mango Kulfi using Nuts is a luscious, no-churn Indian frozen dessert that beautifully captures the essence of summer. This creamy, dense twist on traditional kulfi—often hailed as India’s answer to ice cream—is infused with the vibrant, juicy sweetness of ripe mangoes. I created a healthier version by incorporating high-protein ingredients like cashews, pistachios, cottage cheese, and paneer, while sweetening it naturally with monk fruit sweetener. The result? It tastes even better than classic kulfi—rich, indulgent, and satisfying—while delivering a generous boost of protein and avoiding any sugar spike.#day 4 ideas for fasting - samak rice and sweet potato chaat and nuts Ingredients 1 cup cashews (kaju) ½ cup pistachios (pista) 1 cup cottage cheese 1/ 2 cup paneer 1.5 cup mango chunks/ puree 2 tsp Monk fruit sweetener 1 tsp cardamom powder Few strands of saffron 1.5 cup milk Method In a large bowl, combine the cashews, pistachios and saffron. Pour milk on top and keep in the fridge for overnight or 6-8 hours. Add everything in a blender and blend until you get smooth and creamy paste. Pour the mixture into kulfi moulds or ice cube trays or a small container and tap to remove any air bubble. Freeze for 8 hours or until firm. Enjoy frozen or let it sit for a few minutes and serve as a soft creamy dessert Note: Optionally, add almonds. Adjust sweetness depending on your taste and mango ripening. For a richer texture, add little cream before blending. See more recipes on my cookbook on amazon

#cabbageparatha😋 #indianfood #breckfast #lunchtime😋 These stuffed cabbage parathas are very easy to make and healthy as well since they are packed with vegetables. They are super yummy, and ideal to take to work/school for lunch since they are just as delicious without a curry. Moreover, they’re great to sneak in vegetables for the kids since you don’t notice the cabbage. Serves: 4 Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour - ½ cup for dusting 1 cup water 1 tsp salt or to taste 1 tsp carom (ajwain) seeds Oil for roasting For stuffing: 1 small cabbage - grated 1 small onion - finely chopped 2 green chilli - finely chopped 2 tsp cilantro - finely chopped 1 tsp red chilli powder 2 tsp salt or taste Method: Take a wide dish and add flour, salt, and carom seeds. Mix together. Add water slowly, and make soft but not sticky dough. Knead well, then cover and keep aside. Meanwhile, add cabbage, green chilli, cilantro, red chilli powder and salt. Mix and keep aside. Add the salt when making the paratha if making in advance, otherwise the stuffing will become watery. Put a fry pan or tawa at medium heat, and spread a little oil on it. Make uniform balls (a little bigger than golf ball sized) of the dough. Take a piece and roll it out into a triangle shape (doesn’t need to be perfect, just generally). In the center of the triangle, add stuffing, then fold each corner back into the center so the stuffing is inside. Roll out the dough again, but make sure it’s not too thin, otherwise the stuffing will come out. Put the paartha on a fry pan and roast on both sides till golden brown, then spread oil on the paratha on both sides. Serve hot or as you like with tea or curry and yogurt. Enjoy!
