Mango Strawberry Smoothie

Summer is here. Who doesn't  like summer? Kids are the happiest ones in the world who wait for summer vacations. I used to love summers as a kid.  Visiting grandmothers place, doing naughty things, watching movies and most importantly  eating mangoes. Mangoes are my favorite not just as a kid even now. My kids love mangoes but in a liquid form.  They not even try a pieces of it when I cut the mangoes and serve them. They are much happy when I make  Lassi  or smoothies with mangoes.

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".
