During mango season, we prepare so many dishes of mangos. Mango burfi is one amongst them. These are liked very much by all at my home. My grandmother was preparing many batches of Mango burfis. I have been making them every year in the season from many years.
Hot mango pulp splatters all over the hands while stirring in the pan. Hence I was a little reluctant to prepare these burfis again and again. I prefer to use Ishad mangoes(a local variety of mangoes) for this purpose as it contains a lot of pulp compared to any others available here.
My daughter tried it with the ready made pulp a couple of times without much success, so I would suggest using fresh mango pulp for this.
Ingredients: 2 cups Mangopulp Sugar 1/2 tea spn Cardmom powder 1 tea spn ghee
Method: Peel off the mangos and collect the pulp. Make the pulp smoother by using mixer or blender. Take the pulp in a pan and heat it on a medium flame. Go on stirring the pulp till it becomes semisolid. If the stirring is interrupted, the pulp may get stuck to the bottom and get burnt. In order to avoid this,it is better to use nonstick pan. Measure the semisolid pulp and take the same quantity of sugar. Go on heating and stirring the pulp and sugar in the pan till it stops sticking to the sides. Put off the flame once the pulp becomes solid and attains orange color. Mix cardamom powder with the pulp. Smear ghee to the rolling pad and spread the mixture over it. Spread it with the help of rolling pin. Cut it to suitable size and shape. Allow the burfis to cool and then store them in airtight container.

This post is long overdue. I wanted to post it on Mother’s day, but never got to it on time. My aayi loves to cook and serve people. She always feels happy watching people enjoy her food. There are very few things like icecream, masala corn which she really loves. So this post is dedicated to her – the best mom in the whole world.
When we lived in Bangalore, we frequently visited those small masala corn stalls which could be found near most of the shopping malls. Every time aayi visited us, we tried our best to take her there. I have tried making it at home here. I think I like this version the most.
Ingredients: 2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn 1 tea spn butter 1/2 tea spn chilli powder 1/4 tea spn garam masala 1 tbl spn (or as needed) lemon juice or 1/2 tea spn amchoor powder Salt
Method: Cook the corn in a little water (or steam it). Melt the butter, add corn. Fry for a min, add salt, chilli powder, garam masala (if using amchoor powder, add at this stage). Cook till corn is done. Then add lemon juice. Cook for few seconds. Serve hot.
Serves : 2 Preparation time : 15-20mins
Updated on 6/15 : Updated the recipe to cook the corn before making dish. Made this dish with cooked corn and it came out really well. Thanks all for tips.
