Apple Chikoo Milkshake Recipe - Queen Palace Milkshake

 Recently I saw this Apple chikoo milkshake/ Apple Sapodilla milkshake recipe in the milkshake menu of Salem Lakshmi hotel. When I saw it titled as Queen palace milkshake, I got tempted to try at home. The combination of apple, chiku/ sapodilla / sapota , ice cream, milk, vanilla and honey sounds new, healthy and interesting as well. I know many kids would refuse to eat whole fruits. For those fussy kids, fruits milkshake is the best option. As we add ice cream to it, it gives a thick, creamy taste with a nice flavor. Raksha never touches sapota fruit even though she had read its health benefits like its good for eyes, bones, develops immunity etc. But today she had a small glass of this milkshake without any complaints. We too liked it very much. Its so easy to make. Just combine all the ingredients and blend it. Tasty apple chikoo milkshake would be ready in minutes. Friends, do try this Queen palace milkshake recipe and let me know your feedback. Ok, lets see how to make it with step by step pictures.

Ganga Jamuna Juice Recipe - Orange Sweet Lime Juice Recipe

Last year few readers requested me to share this Ganga Jamuna juice recipe that is most popular in juice shops. But I had no clue as I haven’t tasted or heard about it. Later I came to know Ganga Jamuna juice is nothing but a combination of orange juice and sweet lime juice (Mosambi) in equal quantity. Recently we had some fresh fruit juice in Salem Lakshmi hotel’s juice corner. There I clicked a picture of juice recipes given in the menu in Tamil. I have shared the picture in my Instagram page today. When I saw the recipe of this Ganga Jamuna juice in that list, I got tempted and tried it today. Its a very simple recipe but people make it in different ways based on their taste. Some people like to have a pulpy juice without sugar.It may taste slightly bitter because of grinding seeds and the skin. But I made a clear juice just by squeezing the fruits in hands, strained it and added sugar for taste. Raksha loved it a lot.I have shared both the methods below. For variations, you can mix pineapple juice and call it as Ganga Jamuna Saraswati juice. Soon I will share more juice recipes and milkshakes from that menu. Now lets see the most popular juice shop style Ganga Jamuna juice recipe with step by step pictures. Try it during this summer. Its a healthy thirst quencher drink. You will love its taste too.

Method – 1 : Wash and steam cook the mangoes in a pressure cooker or idli pot.Once its cooked,peel the skin and squeeze the pulp.Take in a plate and keep aside.( I got 1/2 cup of pulp) Method – 2 :Alternatively,u can burn the mangoes over direct flame till it turns like a charcoal.Cook in medium flame and turn it every now and then.Remove when the mango is cooked completely.Discard the burnt skin and take out the pulp.Keep it ready.U can follow this method if u want smoky flavor in the drink.I followed First method as we don’t like smoky flavor in our food. After taking the pulp from the mangoes,measure it in a cup.Take grated jaggery that is twice the measure of mango pulp.In my case,i got 1/2 cup(heaped) of pulp.So i used 1 cup (heaped) of grated jaggery. In a mixie jar,take the pepper corns,roasted cumin powder,Black salt and cardamom seeds.Powder it nicely.To this powder,add jaggery and pulse it twice. Lastly add the mango pulp and grind it well to make a smooth paste.No need to add water.Aam panna concentrate is ready. Remove the paste using a clean spoon and store in a bottle. To make this drink,take 2 tbsp of concentrate and mix in a cup of water(200ml).Check the taste and add more paste or water based on your taste.Enjoy adding few ice cubes and mint leaves.

Note

Follow method 1 or 2 based on ur liking. The ratio of mango pulp and jaggery should be 1:2 You can also use sugar instead of jaggery. Black salt gives a nice flavor to this drink.so don’t skip it.

Enjoy this flavorful,refreshing drink and beat the heat !

MUSK MELON JUICE RECIPE | KIRNI PAZHAM JUICE - SUMMER DRINKS

 

Musk melon also known as Cantaloupe/Honey dew/Mash melon in English, Kirni pazham/ muzham pazham in Tamil, Kekkarikke Hannu in Kannada and Kharbooja in Telugu and Hindi. It is low in calories and a best summer drink.

Last year I posted musk melon @ Cantaloupe juice recipe from my Mil’s hands. This year, I tried on my own. Here in Bangalore, we get orange colored musk melon. I love that color a lot. As summer is almost in peak, we really feel like having a fresh fruit or juice/ice creams in the noon. So I am trying lot of juice recipes and planning to share them in my space.

To start with, musk melon is one of the best coolants for summer and a great thirst quencher too. Its health benefits are innumerable. The biggest advantage is that it is low in calories, low in saturated Fat and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Folate and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Potassium. It is good for asthma, diabetes, arthritis, High BP, heart disease and heat strokes. 

But the only bad thing is that a large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars. So its better to add less sugar while you make the juice to cut down calories. If you feel the sweetness of muzham pazham is sufficient enough, you can completely skip adding sugar OR replace with jaggery / honey. Do try this yummy & healthy summer drink recipe. U’ll feel refreshing.
