Rava Thalipeeth (रव्याचे थालीपीठ)

This is my MIL's recipe. She makes it so perfect and so tasty. It is very easy to make. It can be quick and filling breakfast/snack. Here is the recipe for 2-3 medium thalipeeth.

Ingredients

Fine sooji (बरीक रवा) 1 cup

Buttermilk (आंबट ताक) १/२ cup

Salt to taste

Chilli powder 1-2 tsp

Turmeric powder 1 tsp

Pinch of asafoetida

Cumin seeds 1 tbsp

Coriander 1-2 tbs finely chopped.

Recipe

1. In a bowl mix all ingredients except buttermilk. Mix them well.

2. Now slowly add buttermilk. Use extra buttermilk if needed. The dough should be wet. If it becomes dry, you will not able to flatten the dough properly.

3. On flat pan (tava) add little oil and flatten the prepared dough on it as thin as you can. Make holes in between. Add little oil in that hole.

4. Cook it covered on high flame for 2-3 minutes. Flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes and your rava thalipeeth is ready.
5. It tastes best with butter (लोणी, मख्खन) or curd (दही). You can also eat it with peanut or coconut chutney, sweet lemon pickle or mango pickle. Kids can eat it with tomato ketchup or ranch.

   

Easy Mango & Rose Mousse

I like this light, airy, fluffy and creamy dessert. I don’t remember when I first tasted this dessert but whenever it comes in front of me, I just finish it in no time. I was trying to make gelatin free, egg free recipe for making this mousse. And here it is, the hassle free and very easy recipe for mango mousse. I happened to have rose syrup in my pantry so thought of adding it to give a little twist.

I used mango pulp, as I had it in my fridge. You can use fresh mango puree in mango season and use some mango chunks as well. In that case you will need to add sugar as per taste. I didn't add sugar as pulp already has sugar.

Ingredients
Alphonso mango pulp 5 tbsp
Heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup
Rose syrup 1 tsp

Recipe
Add all the above ingredients in a mixie jar and blend it until it comes to smooth creamy consistency. Then just divide the mixture in cups, add 2-3 drops of rose syrup over it and keep it in the refrigerator to chill before you serve.
