Mango Chia Popsicles

Mango Chia Popsicles are a sweet and healthy treat with just 3 ingredients. Officially Spring / summer hasn't started yet but its little warm here in NJ. Kids are very happy to play outside and have some cold treats after the playtime. I haven't seen mangoes in market yet but I had a can full of mango pulp in my pantry, with which I made this yummy Popsicles. If you find fresh mangoes in market, go ahead and use them instead of pulp. 

Under the theme "  Ingredients through mail", my 2nd ingredient, White Chia seeds are  from Usha (http://www.myspicykitchen.net//). I have used Chia seeds in Pudding and cakes earlier, this is the first time am using in Popsicles and it gives a nice texture and taste to them. Here goes the recipe......



Ingredients:


Mango Pulp 2  cup
Coconut water  1 1/4 cup
White / Black Chia seeds 1 1/2 tablespoons


Preparation:


Blend  mango pulp and coconut water in a blender until smooth.
Stir in Chia seeds.
Pour in Popsicles molds.
Freeze until done or for 6-7 hours. 
Enjoy!

Kaju Katli / Kaju Burfi

Image
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". Here goes the recipe...... Ingredients: Kaju / Cashew nut powder 1 1/2 cup Sugar 1 cup Water 1/2 cup Butter / Ghee 1 tbsp Edible S...
