Here in Doha we can find a Drumstick tree in almost every Indian family villas,Drumsticks hanging outside their gate walls.Few days back I got a bundle of them from one of my neighbours.So prepared a Drumstick dal curry using a few.Earlier I had posted a Drumstick Stir Fry and Drumstick Prawns curry.
Today's recipe is a simple -easy to make- Chicken Kurma.There are different ways of making chicken kurma apart from the authentic way.At some places the gravy is made using curd,cream,nuts etc with the chicken while others alter it with poppy seeds and cream or coconut.But all in all,it has a rich and creamy texture.
After a break, here I am with a beautiful colored milkshake...don't worry it tastes yummy too.I think milkshakes are done with fruits and we have very little option with veggies that is,a few other than diet juices.I am a carrot-person who likes eating it raw.Nobody is that fond of beetroot in my family,but this milkshake was finished off with ease.
The recipe is similar to the making of Carrot Shake.The Addition of a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the other ingredients while blending elevates its taste.Now on to the recipe
Ingredients
Beetroot 1 medium size
Cold Milk 250 ml
Vanilla ice cream 1 scoop + a little for topping
Sugar to taste
Method of preparation
-Peel the skin of the beetroot and roughly chop it.
-Pressure cook this till tender,2-3 whistles.Let it cool.
-Once cooled add this with the other ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth.
-Serve into glasses with ice cream on top.
This is one of my favorite among puddings.I have already mentioned in my earlier post that we were there in India at the harvest time and how we used to love having these tender coconuts.We used to have it as such or alter it making juice and pudding.I usually like using China grass to set my puddings.
