  • Mango Panna Cotta | Italian dessert

    Mango Panna Cotta | Italian dessert

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Mango Panna Cotta is a quick Italian dessert, ideal to serve anytime. This is a vegetarian version as agar agar  (or agar) is used here.

    Panna Cotta is a classic Italian dessert  that is made by cooking heavy cream. Addition of mango makes a subtle change to the taste and hence the name as Mango Panna Cotta. This is a vegetarian version of the dessert.

    I wanted to make this panna cotta since a long time but somehow it was delayed. Now, I have made it with mangoes as it is the season of king of fruits. Looking at the internet, I figured there were many ways to make this classic dessert. Soon, I decided that it would be vegetarian with the easy way that I could make. The final outcome was good but I think I could add some more mango pulp as the colour is cream. But, on other thoughts, had I added it, I would need more of agar agar to set it properly. Anyway, here is the recipe of my mango panna cotta.

    A few other mango recipes, as breakfast  you might like to try mango kesari, or amba bhat for lunch along with chapati and sabzi. If you like to explore other cuisines then do check this mumbazha pulissery, a dish from the state of kerala or the ambua from Himachal Pradesh.

    About Agar Agar

    Agar Agar or Agar  is a vegetarian substitute that is used instead of gelatine in making desserts. It is a jelly-like substance obtained from red algae. It is a mixture of two substances namely: agarose and agaropectin. It is mainly used in desserts and in soups as a thickening agent. As it is a rich source of dietary fibre, it can also be used as a laxative.

    It is available as white translucent strands. I read that the powder form is also available but I have not found it yet. It needs to be cooked in a little water until the strands dissolve.

    Mango sheera | Mango Kesari in two ways

    Mango Kesari or Mango Sheera is a delicious dessert made using semolina and mango puree. It is a good way to use some mangoes for cooking.

    It’s the season of mangoes, time to indulge and try recipes with it. Sheera or rawa kesari is often made in all homes. Do give a try with mango, it’s tasty. Mango Sheera is soft and smooth pudding like sweet delicacy made with mango pulp and semolina. Here I am sharing two kind of recipes, one is using sugar andd the other with jaggery. Earlier, I used to make with sugar. Presently we are using a little bit more of jaggery, so I have made with jaggery now.

    The importance of kesari in Indian cuisine:

    Rava Kesari is one of the sweets commonly prepared in Indian tradition. Any good occassion, starts with a Satyanarauyan pooja and it is the the kesari which is prepared with banana in it. You have sudden guests at home and the only thing thats pops up in our mind is a good rava kesari. Upma and Kesari is the combination found in most restaurants.

  • Mango Milkshake Recipe

    Mango Milkshake Recipe

    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.

    A few mango recipes that I have on the blog are the following : mango jam with chia seed, mambazha pulissery, raw mango rice, ambua, raw mango salad

    Ingredients: 

    • 3 mango (alphanso)
    • 2 scoop mango ice cream
    • 1/2 litre milk
    • 2 teaspoon sugar
    • ice cubes for serving

    Method:

    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. 

    A few other recipes from co-bloggers are : 

    Giangi uses a combination of fruits in her  Italian smoothie or Frullato as it is called. Azlin has made a frappe using raspberry and white chocolate.
