Since childhood my favourite fruit was Fig more than even mango.. With known love i share for mango it would be hard to believe but its true :) Whenever i had to choose something while playing i would always pick fig.. Then as i grew up i was introduced to Sujata's (the famous ice-cream parlour in pune) fir ice-cream... Even till date whenever I go to pune i have atleast a tub of fig ice-cream.. So now you might wonder how come i waited so long to make this ice-cream then, but the thing is it was so hard to find dried figs here that I had to get them from India :) So now that I have it I couldnt wait but make this awesome gelato..


Ingredients
1 Liter Milk
250g Dried Fig
3/4 Cup Honey
1 Spoon Lemon Juice

Method

• Soak the figs in two cup of milk. Keep aside for atleast two hours
• In a mixie grind the soaked fig to paste, keeping aside 4-5 figs.
• Add in lemon juice and honey and blend again.
• Add this paste to remaning milk and stir well.
• Set the ice-cream as per ice-cream maker instructions.
• Dice the remaining figs and mix it in the set ice-cream.

Notes
I dont like to wait after i start making ice-cream, so I use chilled milk. Also while soaking figs, i keep them in fridge that way they chill too and i dont need to wait for the mixture to chill before i put it in ice-cream maker.

Today when I saw 3 riped bananas, i got reminded about this recipe.. Sometime back I had read this in an article and was curious how exactly this will turn out. Believe me, this in did was quite nice recipe - a change from normal breakfast and healthy too..


Ingredients
3 Bananas
2 Eggs
1 cup Maida
1 cup Milk
1 Spoon Baking Powder
2 spoon Sugar
4 spoon Honey
2 Spoon Oil
Salt to taste
Ghee

Method

• Sieve maida, baking powder and Salt couple of times to get uniform mixture.
• Beat eggs, sugar and oil together
• Add little maida and milk at a time to this mixture to form uniform batter
• Mash two bananas and mix it with the batter
• Heat the pan and spread little ghee
• Spread the batter to form small (thick) dosa, cook on low flame
• When there are bubles forming on the upper side, making the cake little fluffier and porous turn to the other side, cook till golden brown
• Sprinkle honey and spread the pieces of remaining banana over it.

Notes
Eggs make the cake quite fluffier and the cakes don't stick to the tawa.
This is quite nice breakfast once in a while, a different taste from our usual indian breakfast
