" Bappida's Chef Diary- 7: Mango Messenger (1st May-2017) "

(Recap- Ginger T, Negro Masala Papad, Paratha-e-Omelette, Egg Pulusu, Masala-E-Maggie and French Toast)

A thing in our house... frequently used by my wife... Which I never dared to use it.... A Recipe Book. Today however I thought to peep into it to see if it can provide something for my Chef diary and Viola... It did had a Bengali Sweet dish signalling me at it!!

It's season of Mango and I never tried a sweet dish before. So here goes today's कारनामा.

Take 4 हापूस आंबा (बजेटनूसार कुटलाबी घ्या)
3 वाटी Paneer (65 रूपये पावशेर ... बगा जमल्यास घरीच करा राव)
1.5 वाटी Sugar
3 चमचे Cashewnut भरड (भरड काय ते आता Google वर बगा)
1.5 चमचे ईलायची पावडर
रोझ Essence

कृती:
पनीरमध्ये आंबे सोडून सगळं भसकन ओता. (रोझ Essence पुडच्या बारीसाठी थ्वाडा राखून ठेवा.) मंग पीठ मळत्यात तसं मळून घ्या.

आता ते मळलेलं मिश्रन एका पॅनमदे आदळा. 5 मिनीटे मंद आचेवर त्याला झोडपून काडा. आता पहिला गॅस बंद करा. (बचा बचा महाग होत चाललाय मेला).

आता त्या मिश्रनाचे लाटून बारीक काप करा. आंबे आनलेले ना त्याचे पन काप करा. दोन्ही काप एकमेकांच्या ऊरावर ठिऊन त्याची गुंडाळी करा. ती म्हैस निगू नये म्हनून Toothpick तिच्यामदी खूपसा. मंग हे ऊपाशी लोकांना द्या. येवडी झंजट नगं असल तर त्या मिश्रनामदी आंब्याचे बारीक तुकडे करा अन द्या खायला.

Since I am a novice, I immediately opted for the second easiest option and successfully finished the recipe.

My ever supportive wife had already instructed me to use only 2 or 1 Mango and not to waste 4 of them as she strongly believes in my culinary art. However at the end, to her utter surprise (and of course mine too) the sweet dish was good (if not नादखुळा). It was so good enough that I shared it with her relatives and they too liked it. (or had to like it as it was My 1st ever Shareable कारनामा).

Personally I felt that the silly Rose essence overflowed and its limited usage could have made the recipe more tasty. No worries. I shall operate it tomorrow and eat it.

अब मैं मेरे रिश्तेदारोंमें सर ऊठाके चलने के काबील हो गया हूं..... के मैं भी (ईन्सानोंके अलावा) कुछ पका सकता हूं!!
