Shahi Rice with Mango twist

Los Angeles- A big city. Lots of place to be seen. If a person goes every weekend to roam, then also it will take him/her about half of an year to see every place in L.A. and in it's neighboring counties. We stayed there for about 3 years, but still haven't seen all beautiful cities of the city. Each and every trips were good, and memorable trips with friends and families. Lots and lots of beautiful memories to cherish.

Well, in one of these trips, we went with a friend and her mom. We prefer to take food of 1 time with us, so that we do not have to make kids eat outside in restaurant all the time. So, this Auntie of ours, made this delicious Shahi Chawal. It was too yummy. Normally, it has to be eaten hot, but since we were on trip we ate it cold and still it was too tasty to be forgotten after a trip. Well, I made this lot of times at home, but this twist with Mango is my new discovery. The taste of juicy sweet Mango, blends well with the taste of Ghee and Milk. This recipe is a must try for sweet tooth.

  1. Mango - 1 (diced)
  2. Dry Fruits (Cashew, Almonds and Raisins) - 1/2 cup
  3. Ghee - 3 tbsp
  4. Condensed Milk - 3 tbsp
  5. Cardamom Powder - 1tsp
  6. Rice  - 2 handful

  • In a pan, add ghee, when melted at medium temperature, add dry fruits and fry till it turns light brown in color.
  • Remove it from pan.

I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months...
