Mango Icecream
Come summer and mangoes have started arriving. Got a kg of good banganapalli mangoes. Ate them plain and made milkshake with them too. I had tried mango icecream last season and it came very good. So thought of trying it again. It is a very simple recipe with minimal ingredients.
Mango Icecream
Ingredients:
1 banganapalli mango
2 cups full cream milk
6 tsp sugar(adjust according to sweetness of mango)
4 tsp cornflour
Method:
- Boil the milk. Now switch of the stove.
- Dissolve the cornflour in little water with out any lumps and slowly add it to the milk and keep stirring.
- Add sugar to the milk. Now keep this mixture in a medium flame and keep on stirring till it coats the back of a spoon.
- Allow the mix to cool completely.
- In the mean time, peel the mango, chop it into small pieces and make mango puree.
- After the milk mixture is cooled completely, add the mango puree to it and mix well. Now freeze this in shallow trays in the freezer.
- After 4-5 hours, break the frozen icecream with a spoon into pieces and beat it in the mixie till it is smooth and creamy. Refreeze it for 1-2 hours. After 2 hours, scoop and serve. Yummy homemade mango icecream is ready. If you want you can beat it again and refreeze which will improve the smoothness, but I found that one time was sufficient.
Mango Rice
I learnt this recipe from my dad. Didn’t know from whom he learned this. It is a simple and tasty dish. We used to make this in mango season. But nowadays most of the vegetables are available in supermarkets through out the year. The hybrid type of mango is preferred ( ottu mangai/kili mooku mangai ).

Mangai Pachadi / Raw Mango Pachadi
Iniya tamil puthandu nalvazhthukal (Wishing you all a very happy tamil new year). This recipe is a staple at my home on tamil new year’s day. I don’t know what is the relationship of mango and tamil new year. I guess the month of “chithirai” marks the onset of mango season and so it is cooked on the day of tamil new year.
This is a very simple recipe. This sweet and tangy recipe tastes good with sambar, rasam and curd rice as well. From my experience I know it tastes good with rotis also.
