A Healthy Breakfast Drink from my kitchen



Normally, I don't like pumpkins, especially the ripe ones. So, if they are used in sambhar or avial or made as erissery, I am fussy! But that's not the case with the raw ones.... I love raw pumpkins and papaya...Raw pumpkins are good for salads (especially their skin) and juices; and raw papayas make a good thoran. It was my papa who introduced me to these juices made out of raw pumpkins and they tasted yummy.....He used whatever fruits and veggies that were available in his garden for the juices....The main ingredients, however were pumpkins, carrots and apples, with a few additions or subtractions in the ingredients. I always prefer to stick with pumpkins, carrots and apples without any sugar and we, including my little fussy-eaters love it.


Ingredients:
Recipe Source: My own

Raw Pumpkin - 1/2, peeled and cubed
Apple - 2, cored and chopped
Carrot - 1, peeled and chopped

Method:
  • Place the chopped pumpkin, apple and carrot in a food processor or blender and process.
  • Pour into a glass and add ice cubes and serve.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer and make a pulp out of it.
