Saffron Pistachio Kulfi … craving kulfi
“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” Voltaire Here’s an ice-cream with a difference…an Indian dairy-based frozen dessert. Guess what? You don’t need an ice-cream machine for this!! This is a popular end to Indian meals, a rich & creamy ice-cream, which can be made in many ways, & many flavours. Mango is fast becoming a flavour of choice as far as the kulfi goes, but traditional flavours remain cardamom, saffron & pistachio. This particular recipe works with reducing the quantity of milk to a third by cooking. Another recipe I often use has condensed milk…faster & as delicious. I tried this method since I had run…

MANGO GINGER BASIL SORBET…YES, IT’S THE PERFECT SCOOP!!
“Don’t limit my taste. There’s some jazz that I like and there’s some opera. I’ve been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.” Rick Moranis Caught sight of a fabulous, lip-smacking, refreshing mango sorbet teasing me at different times…enticing, delectable, torturous at times. Got tortured by Cynthia @ Tastes Like Home, by Nic @ Cherrapeno (yellow for Bri), then by Mike @ Mike’s Table, where he had a chilling good frozen event. For some very strange reason I never attempted a mango sorbet the entire mango season. And then, when the mangoes decided to say goodbye, panic set in & silly me decided that…

ROASTING APRICOTS FOR A SORBET…
“I doubt whether the world holds for anyone a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice cream. “ Heywood Broun Here’s a short & sweet post…great roasted flavours, that I made ages ago. Picasa has been misbehaving & lots of my files seem to have become inaccessible with a .ini file type. Naughty & bad Picasa! I can see the pictures in the folder, but when I try to open the folder, it says nothing to view. I have a few pictures of this beautiful roasted apricot sorbet which I had elsewhere, so I’d better get it on my blog before I lose these precious few pictures too!…

SCREAMING FOR PEACH MANGO ICE-CREAM…
“An apple is an excellent thing — until you have tried a peach.” George du Maurier Here’s an ice-cream that left us screaming for more…literally!! Helped the daughter make this a couple of weeks ago coz she wanted to make peach ‘something’…peach anything actually !! Peaches have flooded our market this year & tempt me endlessly. Quite insanely, I can hear them calling to me from their shelves in the local bazaar. All summer fruits are far too irresistible, so I always come back home with bagfuls – plums, apricots, peaches, mango, cherries…! The heat notwithstanding, I can spend happy hours browsing through racks / baskets of these sweet nothings,…

IN THE PLUM OF THINGS…A sweet tale of sauce & ice-cream
“A sauce…..adds something, really two things: a taste as well as the opportunity to think about how the thing was made.” Raymond Sokolov Spicy Sweet Plum Sauce Plums ‘n’ Cherries…the fruit of summer! Plum, Cherry & Black-cherry Conserve Ice-cream Fresh fruit in food is my kind of thing. Summer brings with it delightful juicy fruit from the hills of Jammu & Kashmir, (Gurgaon & Delhi lie in the plains of North India where the weather these days is HOT, HOT, HOT), & one just cant seem to get enough of these delicious fruit. Have to limit the amount of sweet in everyday food, but the temptation is far too great.…

CREAMY HOME-MADE MANGO ICE-CREAM…ON A CALCIUM HIGH!
“Condensed milk is wonderful. I don’t see how they can get a cow to sit down on those little cans.” Fred Allen On a calcium high…Goodness that’s fruity & cool! This creamy, delicious mango ice-cream’s en route for something I support whole-heartedly & have always believed in…Beautiful Bones: An Osteoporosis Food Event, hosted by one of my favourite bloggers Susan @ Food Blogga. Susan is funny, her posts are evocative, beautifully presented, & come with a fair share of humour, meaning… & much more. Thanks to her, ‘Dermadoc‘ is gaining notoriety as an avid foodie critic too!! Ha Ha…sorry Susan, was hilarious when he dropped by my place a while…
