Dessert Delights !!!!!


Muskmelon custard/ಕರಬೂಜ ರಸಾಯನ 
         

         I am super excited to share my first ever post and as the sayings goes on "Good things start with a sweet", So can it get any better than sharing a yummy dessert. 
Presenting to you all, A very delicious konkani dessert.This is usually made with muskmelon but you can also add other fruits like banana, apple, grapes and dry fruits as per your taste to make this custard.

This desert was learnt from my father who is a konkani brahmin. I remember my father narrating how they used to enjoy this dessert in the evenings and especially prepared during summer as this is very healthy and also keeps the body cool.My mother is a madhva brahmin and i enjoy cuisines from both the sides.

Coconut is the main ingredient for most of the konkani dishes and this dessert is also made using coconut.This can be served after lunch or also be relished in the evenings.This is one of the most favorite dessert enjoyed by my family and friends.

Below are the details of this recipe.

Prep time :10 mins
Course : Dessert
Cuisine : Indian
Servings : 2 
Author :Rohini

Ingredients

Muskmelon chopped - 1 cup
Banana Chopped - 1/2 cup
Coconut (Chopped/grated)- 1 cup
Jaggery (powdered) - 2 cup
Cardamom - 2 
Flattened rice (Optional) - 1 cup 
Water -1.5 cup
Almond and dry grape for garnish


Grind jaggery ( I have used semi powdered),coconut and cardamom to fine paste by adding 1.5 cup of water.This will blend together nicely and give us yummy delicious rasayana.


Take a bowl and sieve the rasayana and keep it aside.This will help us filter only the liquid from the coconut and jaggery.


Add Muskmelon ,banana and rasayana to a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for an hour.

Before serving add flattened rice(poha) and Almond and dry grape for garnish.

You can avoid Flattened rice if you don't like and only add fruits of your choice.



This is my first post and i have tried my level best to narrate as much as i know.Hope you all like this as much as i have enjoyed sharing with you all.Happy Cooking !

A side dish that cannot be sidelined

Methi Matvadi Palya / ಮೆಂತ್ಯ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಮಟ್ಟವಡಿ ಪಲ್ಯ                                               So here i am with yet another simple and delicious recipe called Matvadi palya. This recipe was definitely not there on my long list 😃... but then i thought of sharing on my blog as we rarely(only when we buy Methi leaves 😁) prepare at home and this recipe definitely adds something different on your menu 😊  Methi matvadi palya is a tasty stir fry and chana dal is the main ingredient to make this delicious palya.

This simple and delicious palya can be served for lunch and dinner.This has to b...
