A dash of mango infusion into my body

Well even though the much awaited MANGO season has almost come to an end, I am still receiving good, ripe Alphonso mangoes (my fav) all thanks to my sis-in-law's dad. 

Today again was a special day but with a difference. I prefer having mangoes with spoon (Sophistication!!!) with some Chaat Masala ka tadka. But this time i decided to make mango smoothie.

I put da cut mango pieces into a blender and topped it with huge scoops of fresh cream, 12-13 drops of vanilla essence and ice cubes and blended it. Voila!!!

Amazing Mango smoothie (unexpected for it to turn out well :)) was ready in 5 mins. Served it with mango pieces on top and it just melted into my mouth.

Must try before all the mangoes in this earth vanishes till next year.

MANGO truly da king of fruits.

Bomb Scare

Yesterday Sheru had called over his friends for a niteout and had ORDERED me to make his fav. Rajma Masala. As usual he overate it went off to sleep.

Having a past of farting after overeating, the history repeated itself. Sheru was in sound sleep and suddenly without realizing he gave out a small sound. The sound woke him up. With only one eye open, he looked around the room to see where the sound came from. And when he couldn't see anything, his highness went off to sleep again. And this time, a bomb exploded. 

Sheru got so scared with his own fart sound that he tightly closed his ears with his paw. Look here;

His friends are still in state of shock. And Sheru is in sulking mode after I had a hearty laugh. :)

Fruit salad with a twist

Being at par with a Michelin starred chef in terms of cooking :) i tried my hand at making fruit salad with ice cream and mint and for the first time i was bowled over by my own creation.

Being choosy about food, i was prejudiced about certain fruits without even tasting them. So i thought this is a nice way of tasting them with ice cream and mint as a Savior in case i don't find a particular fruit interesting.

So I put all the diced fruits into a bowl and topped it with strawberry ice-cream generously and sprinkled powdered mint in the end. Easy way is to powder Polo mint :)

This made the less tolerable fruits edible with some cooling and minty effect in your mouth. Yummmm!!! You can also variate it adding honey on top or chocolate sauce on top of the ice cream.

Pain point: skinning and dicing the fruits. Otherwise its a five mins job and voila u have a health and tasty fruit salad ready for snacks or breakfast or post-dinner desert.

Heart Melt

When I had first got Sheru home from the jungle, I really didn't know what to expect or how to react. He was frail, scared, hungry and lost in the jungle. Since we didn't keep non veg at home. I just hoped I could be able to bottle feed this tiny creature to satiate his hunger pangs but was unsure if he would be even remotely interested in smelling the milk forget even actually drinking it. I thought of giving it a try! And Voila it took only few seconds for the bottle to get empty. He indeed was very hungry.

Even today he loves his bottle. Its a sight to watch him drink milk. While drinking he will stare up at you with his big eyes that will melt your heart!

Shakechilli's brain works faster than a computer

Now that Sheru has walked the red carpet for PETA, he has already started dreaming of becoming a star.

Sunday, 8 Jan 2012: Sheru has had a tub full of chicken and off for an afternoon nap.

He is dreaming of a press conference with him being the center of attraction. 

And giving flying kisses to the girls present there. Some habits never go away so easily especially being a casanova inspite of being an animal that too just a 1.5 yr old cub.

Its evening time. He has got up from his sleep and now wants to see himself and the press conference. He is getting restless and pestering me to switch on the TV. Shakechilli...
