Watermelon Strawberry Drink

Watermelon is a seasonal fruit available during summer and very good to avoid dehydration. My family loves watermelon in all forms either eating as fresh cut fruit or juice. This recipe is a blend of watermelon and strawberry added with some lemon juice and spices. This refreshing drink is perfect for hot summer weather and give you a big relief from the hot weather and keeps you hydrated. This lovely naturally red color drink is very simple to make, although the sweetness of fruit is more than enough but if you wish you could add either sugar or honey to complement the sweetness.


Pista Sandesh

Wishing you all a very Happy Raksha Bandhan!!

Sandesh is a very famous Bengali delicacy dessert. It is a very soft dessert which melts in mouth while eating. On the occasion of Rakha Bandan, sharing this recipe for all sisters who would want to try it. The recipe is very easy to prepare and could be prepared on any occasion. It is prepared using home made paneer and filled with kesar mava and strawberry sauce. For presentation, I have used melted chocolate, whipping cream and some sugar candy and along with watermelon & blueberry. You can decorate it in your own way. Tradionally there is no filling in Sandesh however in this recipe the strawberry sauce and mava filling makes sandesh more rich and yummy.

 

Fruity Kala Khatta (Chuski)

Kala Khatta is a tangy sweet syrup which is poured on the crushed ice to make a dish called Gola. It’s like a ice candy and enjoyed by licking it. It is also called Chuski. Kala khatta is made from Indian blackberry (Jamun) which is generally available in frozen form in Indian grocery stores. You can also use fresh Jamun if available. You can also make it more flavorful by adding additional fruits to it like watermelon and raw mango. This would give a refreshing feel to your taste buds.  Beat the heat this summer while indulging in this tangy refreshing taste.
