Khandvi

Ever since I started blogging, these pretty khandvi's had been in my to make list. Come on, there would be hardly anyone who wouldn't notice them. They are so pretty that you just can't resist to taste them and once tasted, you will fall for it. 

Usually when I give a try for the first time, I make it during snack time, so that if it doesn't come out well or if it is not liked by anyone, they would have an alternative in the pantry to go grab some quick bite. When I tried these the first time, Jacob thought I had really put in a lot of effort to make these. When he tasted it he liked it and then started asking how I made it and he too was amazed that these pretty looking khandvis are quite easy to make. They look so much more pretty for the least effort that goes into making it. So if you too want to try making it, here is the recipe.

Aamras

Whenever I see an advertisement of jams spread on chapathi/ Indian flat bread, I always tend to crave for them. My lil one loves the chapathi lathered with jams or cheese or anything and rolled up. I don't know if it is the taste or its the fascination of rolls. I shouldn't mind right, as long as he eats. I personally love the combination of this aam ras spread on chapathi. They are yumm. 

It is most commonly served with puris. Summer brings mangoes with them and  also so many different yummy ways to relish this absolutely juicy fruit. Aam ras is one of the perfect ways to have mangoes. So make it without fail this mango season. 

Mango Shrikhand

The only cousin who had got her vacations falling during the same time of the year as ours was Anu. On one such vacation, she always used to keep mentioning about Shrikhand and how much she loved it. Now I had no clue about it. And then I saw the advertisement of Amul Shrikhand, which otherwise had never seemed to have got attention from my end earlier. Somehow I never had Shrikhand made by Amul but yes other local companies. I have loved it ever since.

Summer can't be said goodbye without having eaten enough mangoes, simply diced or as Mango Shake or in any other form. When I mentioned about making Shrikhand, Jacob wasn't anxious about it even though he has never had it before. But when Jordan turned 4 months, I wanted to make something. Not big, but something simple yet special. Hence, this post happened. So when Jacob came back from work , I gave his share to him(I couldn't wait untill he was back, so ate as soon as it was ready :)) and he didn't even bother to ask me if I needed it (usually he does ask) but scrapped off every bit of it. So its gonna be made more frequent on the coming weeks before the mangoes disappear from the market.
