Mango Burfi

Summer is yet to start here, but mangos season is already started. Few weeks back found good mangoes in market bought few and tried this mango burfi. This is my second attempt, first time I tried with canned mango pulp and milk powder but it doesn’t turn out to correct consistency. Still it’s edible and tasty but I was not satisfied with what I made. So I tried second time with paneer which acts as a binding agent for burfi.

 

Ingredients:

Mango Pulp	2 cup
Sugar	10 Tbsp
Paneer	1 cup
Milk powder	1 cup
Milk	1 cup
Nuts chopped	½ - 1 cup
Cardamom powder	1 tsp
Ghee	1 Tbsp
Yields: 30 pieces

 

Directions:

1. Add mango pulp, milk, paneer and milk powder in a blender and pulse couple times until everything blends well.
2. Heat ghee in a non stick pan; transfer the mango mixture to pan. Add sugar, cardamom powder and half portion of nuts mix well.
3. After few minutes of cooking the mixture will start to leave the pan, after cooking for another five minutes it will start to thicken like dough.
4. Grease a plate and transfer the dough to plate, smooth the top surface using spoon and sprinkle the remaining nuts.
5. Allow it to cool and cut into desired shape.

 

Note:

• Use fresh mango for making pulp, peel the skin dice and blend to thick paste. I used two mangoes which yields 2 cups of pulp.
• Since one of my little one use to remove nuts in food, I added 2 tablespoon of powdered nuts and didn’t sprinkle nuts.
• Nuts is your option, you may use almonds, pista and cashew nuts.

Raw Mango Pachadi / Instant Mango Pickle

Raw mangoes are very famous during summer, back home we use to make pickle and it’s a long process. Mango pachadi is also close to pickle but you can’t keep it for longtime. During our childhood me and my cousins are so crazy on these mangoes there is a farm (Maa Thopu) in my aunt’s place it is in top of the hill, there is a temple too. Yearly once there will be a function definitely we wont miss this function for those mangoes. I was so happy to share this wonderful experience.

Ingredients:

Raw mango	1
Chili powder	2 tsp
Salt	1 tsp
Coconut oil	1 tsp
Mustard seeds	¼ tsp
Asafetida	a pinch

 

Directions:

Finely chop the mango, add chili powder and salt mix well. Heat oil splutter mustard seeds and asafetida add to mango mixture and serve.

Notes:

• You can add one teaspoon of brown sugar my mango was little bit sweet so I didn’t add.
• Instead of mango you can use gooseberry (small) in this recipe.
