What warms you up in Monsoon?

For us it's hot and flavoursome soups, stews and like this -
THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN
- full of bold flavours mellow down by creamy and sweet tasting Coconut milk.

.
I am very fond of Thai food and this green curry is mandatory in monsoon or cold season in my home as it's amped up by goodness of lemongrass, Thai basil, and fragrant limes.
.
Other than the vegetables I love to add pan seared chicken strips too in the curry. You can also subbed chicken with paneer or tofu, it taste equally good.

Concluding the Mango Series with this -
Mango Phirni #newonblog
⏩ Recipe link in bio
.
I love to create different kinds of desserts with mangoes, from Rasmalai, rabdi, kalakand tart, flan , cheesecake , mango cakes and what not.
Mangoes makes everything taste so delicious.
And over the period of time, I have found that only Alphonso, kesar, Badami and himsagar suits perfectly for making desserts because they are inherently sweet in taste, pulpy and has strong flavour.
In frame is - Mango Phirni , a easy and delicious dessert that you can make anytime and for any ocassion. It needs lil bit of patience only.

Which is your favourite mango for making desserts? Let me know in comments.

Day 5 of Mango Series Have you tried these flavour

Day 5 of Mango Series
Have you tried these flavour bombs yet?

Meet my new love – Manglorean Style Ripe Mango Curry, usually made with wild mangoes.
But I have used Sakkare Gutti here , also known as sugar babies.

Zest up your summer meal with this super delicious South Indian ripe mango curry, also variously known as Maavina Hannina Gojju / Ambe Upkari in Mangalore and elsewhere in Karnataka, Kaad Mange curry in Coorg.
.
An extraordinary play of flavours – sweet, savory, tangy, beautifully spiced up and oh so delicous , ripe mango curry that you can enjoy with plain rice, millet, neer dosa or even poori.
Arguably the most epic way to enjoy the goodness of ripe mangoes.

A light soupy kind of fish curry with green mango, mustard and coconut is an all time summer favourite at home.

Slightly tangy with undertones of heat from mustard and green chilies, paired perfectly with sweetness of coconut that balance out the flavour, making this fish curry taste so delicious with its distinctive flavors that are so characteristic of Bengali cuisine.

Are you a mountain 🏔️ girl or beach ⛱️com

Are you a mountain 🏔️ girl or beach ⛱️comber?
#throwbackthursday

Me a Mountain girl, may be because I grew up in the hills of Chattisgarh.
.
There were times when we used to go out for vacation/ travel for pleasure at least thrice in a year. Both were working in corporate sector at that time and after every 3 months we used to plan our vacay, chalking out our itinerary, back packing and off you 🛫
.
And now it's been 5 years straight we have not travelled ( for pleasure) anywhere and don't know what would be the new normal in the coming days. 🙁
.
So was thinking of sharing some of our travel bits and bytes with you here.
.
🏔️This is Zabriskie point, one of the iconic vista of Death Valley. Interesting point to note that this looks different to different people. When I visited there in 2013 Aug, I was totally smitten by the beauty of Death Valley. Soaring temp, harsh weather and breathtaking landscape all adds to its beauty.
