Mango phirni

Ingredients required
Rice 100 gm (raw)
Ripe Mango 2-3 nos. (1 cup pulp)
Full fat milk 1 litre
Sugar 100 gm or as per taste
Elaichi powder a pinch
Almonds (chopped) 1 tbsp
Cashew nuts (chopped) 1 tbsp
Pistachios (chopped) 1 tbsp
Salt a pinch
For garnish
Ripe mango slices
Fresh mint sprigs

How to make Mango Phirni:
Wash the rice a couple of times. Soak the rice in water for 45 minutes, after soaking, drain the water and air dry the soaked rice.
Cut the mangoes and remove the flesh and transfer them to the grinding jar to make a puree.
Once the rice is completely dried, transfer to a mixer grinder and grind to a coarse texture, make sure not to grind too much. Further, soak the grounded rice in milk, take 200 ml milk from the 1 litre, and keep the remaining 800 ml milk for making the phirni.
Set a heavy bottom vessel on medium heat, add the remaining 800 ml of full-fat milk, stir and bring to a light simmer.
Once the milk is boiled, add the milk-soaked rice, make sure to stir while adding the rice, and cook for 10 minutes on medium flame while stirring in short intervals. Scrap off the sides while cooking. Make sure to stir continuously throughout the cooking process.
Once the phirni starts to thicken, lower the flame and stir continuously, cook until the rice grains are cooked.
Once the phirni is thickened, add the mango puree, and chopped nuts and stir well.
Taste for the sweetness and add the sugar accordingly, add a pinch of elaichi powder, stir and cook on medium-low flame while stirring for another 5-7 minutes. The consistency of the phirni should be thick.
Finish with a pinch of salt and stir well.
Transfer immediately in a sakora/kullhad to set, make sure the phirni is warm enough while setting in the sakora/kullhad.
Set in the fridge for a minimum of 3-4 hours or overnight. Once set, remove and serve chilled with some mango pieces as a garnish and a few fresh mint leaves.

Onion pakora recipe

Crispy onion pakoda

Ingredients required
Onion – 5 -6 medium size (thinly sliced)
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
Green chillies – 3-4 nos. (chopped)
Fresh coriander leaves – 2 tbsp (chopped)
Red chilli powder- 1 tbsp
Coriander powder- 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Ajwain (carom seeds) – 1 tsp
Amchur powder (mango powder) – 1 tsp
Garam masala (a pinch)
Lemon juice -1 tsp
Black salt a pinch
Salt to taste
Besan (gram flour) – 1 & 3/4th cup
Corn flour – ¾ cup + 1 tbsp
Oil for deep frying

How to make crispy onion pakoda
1. Add sliced onion, ginger garlic paste, green chillies, fresh coriander, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, ajwain, amchur powder, garam masala & lemon juice.
2. Mix It well, keep it aside, and heat oil in a Kadai for frying.
3. Add a pinch of black salt for that extra kick & salt to taste. Mix the mixture well and allow it to rest for just about 2 minutes. Do not squeeze the onion just apply the salt well. This will let us make the pakoda without adding any water.
4. Add the besan and cornflour in three batches, and mix the mixture while coating the onions with the flour.
5. The amount of addition of flour depends on the moisture content in the onions. Ensure you coat the onions and do not make a batter.
6. Dip your fingers in water, so the batter doesn’t stick while dropping it in the oil. It is not necessary to shape the pakoda. Any random shape will do, but make sure you flatten the mixture lightly and drop them in hot oil.
8. Add the bhajis, and lower the flame to medium. Once the pakodas are added, do not touch them until the outer covering is set. Otherwise, the pakoda will disintegrate in the oil. Now increase the flame and fry them slowly until crisp & golden brown.
9. Remove on an absorbent paper and serve hot and crispy onion pakoda.
