 Alugadde Palya Recipe For Rice

After a long time I tried few Karnataka recipes in my kitchen. I prepared Karnataka style bele rasam, Raw mango gojju and Potato Palya/ alugadde palya for rice. As always, my wonderful school moms friends are the source for these recipes as well. I learnt this aloogadde palya / potato curry / urulaikizhangu poriyal recipe from my friend Archana. Usually people in Karnataka make aloogadde palya for poori or to stuff masala dosa. But this version is served as side dish for rice. So it is different from the usual ones. It can be made in a simple way just by tempering onion, green chilli. But my friend Archu told me to add little Vangibath masala powder for more flavor. So I too followed the same. It came out really well and tasty. Raksha loved it a lot. I served with Raw Mango gojju. It was so good. Friends, do try this Karnataka style alugadde palya for a change and enjoy !

Bake the cake for 25 minutes at 180c. Remove the pan after 25 minutes and insert a tooth pick into the cake. If the tooth pick comes out clean or with slight crumbles, cake is done. If toothpick comes with cake batter , bake for another 2 to 5 minutes by checking every minute.

Tastes great with a nice  mango flavor. Enjoy !

Eggless Vanilla Ice Cream With Condensed Milk & Amul Fresh Cream At Home (Without Ice Cream Maker)

Eggless Vanilla Ice Cream With Condensed Milk
This is an easy and delicious homemade, eggless vanilla ice cream with condensed milk (Milk maid ) and Fresh Cream (Amul Fresh Cream) without ice cream maker. Usually people make ice cream at home easily with heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk by just blending them together in a mixer or churn in an ice cream maker. Its really the easiest and perfect method of making homemade ice cream. It comes out super rich, creamy and soft just like store bought ones even without using ice cream stabilizers like CMC and GMS. 

In India, heavy whipping cream also known as double cream or high fat cream (more than 25% fat) is not widely available in all the super markets. In Bangalore, I buy them from baking supplies stores, Metro Cash n carry, Nilgiris and very rarely from online stores. But Amul Fresh cream is easily available all over India. So this year I wanted to make this basic ice cream using Amul Fresh cream and sweetened condensed milk (Milk maid or Amul mithai) as it would be helpful for many of my readers who dream to make homemade eggless vanilla ice cream with easily available ingredients.  I followed Cooking shooking video and Huma in the kitchen YouTube video for tips and tricks to make a perfect vanilla ice cream without ice crystals. 

To my surprise, it came out very well with rich lovely taste. Sendhil and Raksha loved it very much and gave a big thumbs up. In fact they liked this ice cream more than store bought ones. Being a big fan of Kwality walls and Arun Ice cream, I would say it tastes equally good but we cannot achieve its texture or stabilization as store bought ice creams. This ice cream melts sooner than the one made with heavy whipping cream and store bought ones. But this recipe would make you feel proud of making your own ice cream at home without any fancy ingredients or ice cream maker. All you need is an electric blender. Indian mixer will also work but an electric hand blender can do the perfect job for you by whipping the fresh cream to the right consistency.  

Friends, If you have electric hand blender at home, you can make this ice cream mixture in the next 15 minutes. Its so easy and quick. Do try this easy vanilla ice cream at home without egg, ice cream maker and share your feedback with me. Lets see how to make this basic vanilla ice cream with step by step pictures and VIDEO.
