Mango Feerni - Mango and Rice Pudding

Hey guys, I'm back !! :)

The last 5 months have been quite hectic, I was stuck in preparation for my exams and than the actual exams , got free on 6th June and than got busy with cakes !

Now i feel like i can spare some time and write this post. I've missed you all ! <3

So for today i'd be posting a recipe for Mango Feerni that i found here.


You can leave out the mangoes (if you are not a big fan) and have it as is it.


Its a great make-ahead dessert, that you can whip up a day before a get together or a 'dawat'

So here goes,

1 liter of Milk
1/2 cup of Rice - soaked in water for 3-4 hours
1 can of condensed Milk
Pulp of 2 Mangoes ( blended to a smooth paste)
3-4 Cardamoms 
Sugar as required
A few drops of Kewera Essence
Crushed or Flaked Almonds and Pistachios for Garnish
A few small slices of Mango for garnish.

Grind Rice to make a paste. Keep aside.

Grind Mangoes to make a smooth pulp. Keep aside.

Boil milk with cardamom. Keep on simmering on low heat for 10 minutes.

Add the rice paste and a cup of water, keep on cooking on low heat with frequent stirring to prevent burning.

After 10 minutes add condensed milk. Keep on cooking till the rice is cooked and the Feerni is thick.

Add sugar. (keeping in mid that the condensed milk is quite sweet and you'd be adding mangoes as well)

Cook for a minute or two till the sugar dissolves.

At this stage you can take it out, chill and have it as is it. Its quite good !

For a mango version,

Add the mango pulp. Take off heat and cool to room temperature.

Than put it in the fridge to chill for a few hours. Garnish with Crushed almonds, pistachios and mango pieces!

Enjoy!!

Cold Chocolate Cake

Hey guys

I know i havent been posting much here, because my exams are scheduled next month.

And believe me they are not 'a piece of cake'

My routine is totally weird; i'm up all night studying, i sleep around 7 in the morning and wake up late in the afternoon! :S

So i needed a break today, so here I am, posting this !

I want to nibble on something when i study, so yesterday i thought about making something that my cousin used to make. 

Some thick chocolaty concoction with coarsely crushed biscuits.

So here goes,

Ingredients :

100 grams of Butter

1/2 Cup of Sugar 

2 Eggs

2 tbsp of Cocoa Powder

1 Packet of Marie Biscuits. (I used 2 half rolls)

Method :

Randomly break Marie Biscuits in chunks.

On a double boiler melt butter. Add eggs and sugar and whisk continuously so that the eggs do not curdle and you don't end up with scrambled eggs.

Add cocoa powder as well. Add continue whisking till it gets thick.

When its thick, add the broken biscuits,

Stir with a spatula to coat.

Wrap it in cling film or parchment paper in a shape of a log. or any shape u want.

When it comes to room temperature, keep it in the freezer to set for 2 hours.

After 2 hours it can be kept in the fridge.

Cut in slices and Enjoy !!

You can make them for appetizers at a dinner party or have them as a whole meal, like I did :D

I've been searching for a perfect buffalo wing recipe for a few days now, bookmarking this and that, but when i came across this recipe, i was game.

I saw this recipe on a recipe page on facebook.

I did add a little variation to the recipe and I serves them with creamy mashed potatoes to cut out the heat.

So here goes

(For Marination):

1 kg of Chicken wings

1 tsp of Black pepper

Salt according to taste

1/2 tsp of White pepper

2 tbsp of Chili garlic sauce or ketchup

(For the Sauce)

2-3 tbsp of Butter

2-3 cloves of Freshly crushed Garlic.

3-4 tbsp of Hot Sauce

1/4 cup of Tomato ketchup

1/4 cup of water

1 tbsp of Brown sugar

Salt to taste

1 tbsp of Soy sauce

1 tbsp of Red Chili Flakes or Cayenne Pepper (Adjust according to taste, i made them super spicy)

a few drops of Tabasco Sauce (optional)

1-2 cups of All purpose flour to coat the wings.

Method :

You can purchase whole wings or as the butcher to cut them up for u.

If you,re buying whole, Cut chicken wings in 2 parts, drumette and winglet. Some may include a wing tip as well, discard the tips or keep them for later use in making chicken stock.

Marinate the chicken in the ingredients for Marination for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile Make the sauce.

Heat butter in a sauce pan, when melted add garlic. Cook till fragrant...

...than add all the other ingredients.

Cook on low flame till thick and saucy.

While the sauce if cooking...

coat chicken wing in flour. Shake off the excess...

...and deep fry till light golden brown. Being careful not to overcrowd the pan, as the wings will become soggy, do this is batches.

Add the hot sauce and toss to coat.

I served them with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
