Mango milkshake is a tasty drink to serve during. Children will drink this without any fuss. It is creamy and tasty.
It’s the season of mangoes. Various kind of desserts, juices and sweets are made with it. Milkshake, juice, ice cream, sorbet and souffle are some of them. But the most prevalent is the mango pulp or the aamras as it is popularly known, which is served as an accompaniment. But, there’s nothing like eating a fruit all by itself messing our hands.
Mango milkshake is tasty, filling and ideal to serve during any time of the day. Serve it during breakfast, as a refreshing drink at noon or in the evening after the children come back from play.
Cut chunks of mango and put them in a freezer for sometime. This gives a good texture to the milkshake. Put them in a liquidiser. Add ice cream, milk and sugar to it, give a swirl. Serve chilled with ice cubes in it.
Take a tip:
One can use other variety of mango but avoid the fibrous ones.
Addition of sugar is optional. If you are on diet, skip adding it.

I remember as kids we loved munching snacks ,more so during holidays with a bowl of fried crunchies watching our favourite serial. Fried peanuts coated with gramflour were one of the favourites. It’s holidays again and we fret. Well, time moves away in a jiffy and so shall these two months. Lets enjoy the vacations!
Here is a tasty snack loved by one and all.
The ingredients that you need are:
250 gms of groundnuts
125gms of gram flour
1tsp of rice flour
a pinch of asafoetida
a pinch of turmeric powder
2 tsp of chilli powder
salt to taste
oil for frying
Method:
Take a wide bowl and mix all the ingredients with very little water. The peanuts need to be coated with the batter, hence use water sparingly. Keep aside for ten minutes.
Take oil in a kadai and allow to heat. Slowly pour a little batter into the oil . Allow to cook on a slow flame until golden in colour. Remove and put them on tissue paper. When cool, store in air tight containers. Makes a good evening snack with tea.
