Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Papaya is a healthy and nutritious fruit which is ignored by people. Papaya helps people who are suffering from constipation. It also provides relief from piles and has anti-cancer properties. It prevents urinary stones and helps to lower down the cholesterol level. I am sharing this papaya drink recipe, which can help to prevent constipation and piles. You can also enjoy this chilled papaya drink in summer.

Ripe papaya cube – 1 ½ cup
Lime juice – 4-5 tbsp

METHOD:

Now, take a glass and put some crushed ice. After that pour blended papaya mixture over crushed ice and chilled papaya drink is ready.

MANGO LASSI
Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Lassi is on of the traditional north Indian beverages. Last summer, I visited my mother's place in India. We have a mango farm there and in summer we really got bored eating mangoes. My father, who can not survive a single day without lassi in summer, suggested me to make lassi with ripe mango. Mother and me tried this lassi and we loved it.

Servings – 3-4

INGREDIENTS:

Ripe mangoes – 2-3
Non-fat yogurt – 2 cups
2-3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder
3-4 chopped cashew nuts
3-4 chopped almonds
1 tbsp rosewater
Crushed ice

METHOD

Peel and cut the mangoes into small pieces. Take a blender and put all cut mangoes, yogurt, sugar, cardamom powder, rose water and blend them well.
Now take a glass filled with some crushed ice and pour blended mango pulp over crushed ice.
Garnish with chopped nuts and serve chilled.
