#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!

Making bread seems a difficult task but surprisingly, it is fairly easy to make at home. With some practice, you make the perfect bread loaf at home. You will be surprised at how incredibly light, fluffy and soft this bread is. In this recipe, I am sharing how to make the simple soft white bread loaf#recipeon👇🏾 Ingredients Make large bread loaves 1 Packet (8 gm) / 2 ¼ tsp dry yeast 3 - ½ cup all purpose flour 3/4 cup water lukewarm 1/2 cup milk - room temperature 2 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) 3 tablespoon butter/ oil - room temperature 3 tablespoon butter melted for coating on bread top (optional) Method In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tbsp sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Keep aside and let it rise for about 15 minutes till it expands and is bubbly. Mix flour, salt, milk, butter/ oil and rest of sugar in a big wide bowl. Add the yeast mixture. Mix and knead well to form a soft dough. Add additional flour if you find the dough is too sticky or add additional water if dough is hard. Knead for about five minutes. Kneading machine can be used. Put the dough in a well oiled bowl and cover with a wet towel or cling wrap with a few holes and place in a warm place. Let the dough rise till it is double in volume (About two hours). Once the dough has doubled, remove the towel/ cling and punch the dough down. Divide the dough into two pieces and fold into two round logs. Put the dough logs into two well oiled bread pans (smooth side up). Cover the pans lightly with oiled plastic wrap. Let it rise till it rises to about one inch above pan (About 60 - 90 minutes) While dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350’ F. Remove plastic wrap and bake for about 40 minutes. Take out of the oven and gently remove from the pan using spatula. Optionally apply melting butter. Rest on the cooling rack for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, Cut into slices and Enjoy 😊
