Watermelon Smoothie

Today we are starting with  the 4th week of  BM 30, for this week I choose my themes as Summer Special. For next 3 days I will be making summer special recipes. For day-1, I made Watermelon smoothie.
Its very good and refreshing on a hot day. Cool watermelon juice or smoothie with a splash of lime is the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day. Its wonderful for athletes and active people because it is deeply hydrating.  Here's the cool cool drink for hot hot summer day.....

We need:

Watermelon pieces 2 cups
Lime juice 1 1/2 spoon
Honey 1sp(optional)
Mint leaves 4
Crushed ice 1/2 cup


Method:

Add watermelon pieces, mint leaves, honey and lime juice into blender.
Blend till watermelon pieces become smooth paste.
Now add crushed ice and blend well.
Serve immediately as it is already chilled or store in refrigerator for later use.


Check to see what my fellow bloggers are cooking for BM 30.

    Love the addition of lime juice in the smoothie. That would give a super flavor along with the mint.

Kaju Katli / Kaju Burfi

Kaju Katli also known as Kaju burfi is an Indian dessert made of Cashew nuts and sugar. Kaju Katli  has been in my to do list for a quite some time. Finally I made it for this Diwali. Diamond sweet is one of   my son's favorite sweet, yes " Diamond Sweet " that is what he calls it. The texture was't that smooth that we get in market but the taste was awesome.  Typically, Cashew nuts are soaked in water overnight then ground it into paste and added to sugar syrup to make a smooth dough. Few people make it in different way, make cashew nuts powder and add to sugar syrup. Either ways you make the taste and texture matters. I have followed the 2nd method as I didn't have much time to prepare this for a potluck party.  This recipe  goes to the final day of week 1, Blogging Marathon 81 under the theme " Diwali Savories and Sweets".
