Mango Icecream Recipe| Summer Special

The weekend is here! Hurray! As soon as I left office today, I decided to do a post tonight. Also, I wanted to post at least one mango recipe before the mango season ends. Word's can't describe my love for Mangoes, even Happy loves it. Last weekend I made this ice cream and we enjoyed this for the whole week. Homemade mango ice cream is very simple with very few ingredients and also, it does not require an ice cream maker. It is a no fail recipe. Let's go for the recipe:

RoseMilk Popsicle Recipe/ Paal Ice/ Kuchi Ice | Summer Special

I wanted to post many summer special drinks, icecreams, popsicles for this summer. But one after the other we were sick and couldn't have anything chilled. Finally, I tried this popsicle yesterday and it is a quick recipe which can be made with only three ingredients. We really enjoyed the popsicle this weekend. My mom makes so many flavours of popsicles when I was a kid. My neighbour supplied us with the sticks from the nearby ice factory. Those memories of my childhood were really precious. I am planning to post few more summer special recipes soon.

Basic Fondant Icing Cake Recipe

I wanted to try fondant icing for a very long time now, after I saw Happy's first birthday cake from French Loaf. It really attracted our guests who came to the party. From then I was trying to learn this fondant decorations using tutorials. I even tried to attend classes, but I couldn't make it because of my full-time Job. Finally, I tried my hands-on this, decorating a very basic vanilla cake. You can check the recipe for vanilla sponge cake here. I have used rolled fondant, which I got it from Passionate Baking. I have tried very basic shapes and it came out really well. Even though it was not very perfect, I am happy being this my first trial. Let's go for the preparation steps: (I have missed to click few steps in my excitement)

Chicken 65 Recipe- Restaurant Style(Boneless)

I am back after a long time to my blogging world. Even though I was completely cooking these days, I couldn't find time to click and post it in this space. I usually don't like boneless chicken, but this chicken 65 is an exceptional one. I always wonder how restaurants give us soft and tender chicken. I got this recipe from my friend and it came out really well. I have tried it many times now. We really enjoy this. I have already posted a chicken fry here.Let's go for the recipe.

Eggless Banana Walnut Muffin Recipe(Butterless) | Banana Walnut Muffin | Eggless Butterless Muffin

I wished to try cupcakes from the time I started baking. Whenever I plan, one or two items will be missing in my pantry and it kept delayed. Two weeks back I had everything and I tried it. To my surprise, it turns out really well. It looks very cute and Happy enjoys it to the core. She was roaming by my side during the whole process of baking and she was waiting to grab it from me:) Before clicking, I never share any of my goodies for tasting. This time, Happy breaks that and finished one or two before clicking.

I felt really proud when I send these cupcakes to Happy's daycare as her next day evening snack. I reserved few cupcakes to my teammates in office. They really enjoyed and came to know about my baking and blogging interest. They started appreciating and motivating me for more recipes. Checkout my Chocolate Cupcake and Banana Bread recipe too.

Malai Kofta Recipe

Malai Kofta was in my to-do list for such a long time now. I tasted it twice or thrice in restaurants. I was hunting for the recipe of this mughlai delicacy. When Nupur from UK Rasoi announced this as the challenge for Divya's SNC challenge, I decided to make it. But being busy with an active toddler and full- time job, I couldn't make it on time. Yet, I gave it a try last weekend and it came out really well. I served it with spinach paratha and I reserved some Koftas for Happy without soaking in gravy. Thanks Nupur for the lovely recipe and we really loved it. Let's go for the recipe:
