So I do have a weakness for food blogs, a very deep, dark weakness that could land me in a very dangerous overeating zone sometime very soon. I seem to be able to blabber on about anything edible till the end of time... or at least till my husband gives me that weird look, wondering what the fuss is all about.
But what would life be without all the glorious food on offer? And doesn't talking about it only make it more irresistible? I couldn't go a day without thinking of that one new dish in some corner of the world that i must try. Of course, Masterchef Australia and it's super awesomeness contributes heavily to my daily culinary aspirations.
Of late, I've been obsessed with mangoes. Like the rest of the nation! It's perhaps the only highlight in the oppressive heat of Delhi (oh, sorry, there's also the beautiful Indian summer coolers like shikanji and panna!). Come summer, I fall in love with mangoes all over again. Two weekends ago, I made Mango Cinnamon Kheer (courtesy my colleague Debarshi {He's on twitter @sanityturast }, at who's house I discovered how to make it because the one he made was just so good!). The same weekend, I tried Mango and Fresh Cream Tarts. Though the tarts I think were not stiff enough, the kheer was excellent. So naturally when I spotted another mango-infused recipe - http://thegreatcookaroo.blogspot.in/2012/06/mango-banana-gelato-just-three.html#comment-form by my friend Ruchira, who, by the way, is an incredible cook (so I have heard, read, and believe, even though I am yet to eat her gorgeous food). This one looks as healthy as it can get for a dessert sort of dish, and I'm going to try it this weekend for sure!!
My first time with Mango and Fresh Cream tarts - buttery and crumbly with bits of sweetness
Meanwhile, let me sign off with that Mango Cinammon Kheer Recipe that you HAVE to try if you love mangoes...
But first, here's a peek at how it looks. I forgot to take pics of my own kheer, but this is how Debarshi's kheer looked:

Mango and Cinnamon Kheer (serves 4)
- Boil one cup of rice with 1.5 litres full cream milk
- Once the rice gets nicely cooked and milk condensed, your kheer is ready.
- Add 3-4 teaspoons of sugar after taking the kheer off the flame (adjust sugar quantity according to how sweet you want it because the mango will add its own sweetness)
-Puree 1 kilo mango in the blender-Add mango puree to the kheer, and then sprinkle 1.5/2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder
Mix well. Chill. Eat. Share!
