Aam Ka Panna - Mango drink

As lot of us shared that we all simply eat mango, drink mango, cook mango and dream mango all season long during summer in India. So, this is a wonderful sour, tarty drink that we consume a lot , I really mean to say a lot during summer months, one of the reasons is because it helps against the hot breeze or hot temperature in Indian Summer. So that you do not get flu. Yes, it is odd to understand how can summer bring out flu. But, yes lot of times during summer we would fall sick due to hot temperature and there is seriously nothing better than having a glass of "panna". good thing is it can be stored for a month or so or may be more.

Aam Ras with Puri

Aam Ras and "Puri" is nothing but ("Aam") mango ("Ras") puree with fried Indian flatbread. You need nothing because mango puree itself justifies everything. For a little salty spicy kick eat it along with some nice Mango pickle. We would have this as lunch or dinner most of the times during summer season. Sometimes my mom would make some "Rasawala Alu" potatoes in gravy as a side dish to go with the puris. Yum! when we serve Aam Ras, we top it off with a pinch of salt and cumin powder (totally optional) and just a tsp of ghee, yes ghee. And, should I say how to eat it. Just dip your puri in the aam ras and let your spoons enjoy themselves in the cabinet and allow your fingers to get messy.

Frozen Mango Ice Cream Mousse

Frozen Mango Ice Cream Mousse

This is sort of a cross between an ice cream and a mousse. It was given to me by my best friend's mom, and every time I go to her house, we eat it by the bucketful (seriously). The passion fruit puree is added because it balances out the flavors, adding a subtle tartness. Depending on the sweetness of your mangoes, you can add more or less, to suit your tastes. Passion fruit puree can be found in some larger grocery stores, or you can find it on Amazon. To make this more like an ice cream, puree everything but the cream and then stir it all together. To make it just a mango mousse, whip the cream separately, fold in the mango-passion fruit puree and chill.

Sweet n' Buttery Cabbage and Onions

I made this as a piroshki filling for a Russian-themed dinner party I threw last weekend. I had discovered the Pike's Place Market cookbook in the Los Angeles Central Library which had the recipe for the first and most memorable piroshki I ever ate, at a Russian cafe in the market when I was a child. The recipe for the filling, however, is my own, though the ingredients are typical for cabbage piroshkis. The onions are carmelized for 45 minutes until they become delicious threads of sweetness, and the cabbage goes in for at least another half an hour along with butter, salt, and pepper. The result is soft, savory, sweet, and addictive. Quite a bit of the filling went straight into my mouth and not in to the pirsohkis. If you do use this for piroshkis, you can make it while the dough is in its first rise. I recommend putting on a comforting black and white movie (Arsenic and Old Lace in my case) and absorbing the homey scent of carmelizing onions while getting up now and then to stir them.
