Mango falooda with kesar rabri mousse

Hello every one !!Feels like it's been ages since I last updated the blog.With a three month long summer vacation to the school we decided to spend quality time with family(ies) back home.And that was a good decision to escape from the horrendous heat wave experienced here.After being welcomed to a war prone home(looked from every angle as if it was affected)and a home sick mind lingering with the very thoughts of my parents and the chaos of the city,this calmness is just hounding me.I decided to just go with the flow and give my self and my body the time to heal.Did I miss the blog? To the core!!! Not only did I miss blogging but the "me time" that I get to channelise my creativity through my lens. 

Mango and pomogrenate popsicle| Popsicle with an Indian twist

Its raining mangoes on the blog.Yes !! the king of fruits is a guest for few months and I am making the most of it .Apart from mangoes there is nothing so lovable about summer especially in this part of the world.A soaring temperature threatening to cross 48 C ,hot winds accompanied by frequent sand storms is how a summer can be described in words here in a dessert. Popsicles  are the best way to find some relief from the heat + the tested way to make the kids eat fruits.Well ,I don't think there are kids who don't like mangoes.I have given an Indian twist to these Popsicles by adding a little bit of chat masala to pomegranate juice.

Mango rose cake

With mangoes in season all I could think was this delicious beautiful mango rose cake.We are a family of mango lovers and relish mango on its own .But a cake never hurts-right? Mango has its own sweetness and colour and is perfect for cakes.A moist vanilla cake layered with whipped  cream and adorned with mango in the form of a flower.Why vanilla not a chocolate? ( my kids too asked the same ).I don't want to over power the taste of mango with chocolate + mango and vanilla are a combo made in heaven.I have just added mango puree between the whipped cream layers just to increase the mango flavour.
