kaZi nemu..food blogs

Hi, during boring period of lockdown, I used to stay in home almost all the time… Evening usually I went to nearby market to buy daily groceries.. And after 7 o’clock Me, wife and our son usually walk in our balcony… There is a old Mango tree near our flat, yesterday our guard gave us almost more than a killo of raw mangos…

…we decided to good use of these raw Mangos. We prepared kaccha aam sarbat or can say something like aam panna (a sweet and tangy mango drink).. Then we made some tangy spicy Mango chutny and a jar of Mango Pickle….give a look.

🍹Kaccha aam sarbat. Its a delightful, natural coolant prepared with green mango pulp, sugar, spices, and mint leaves.  …….We took 4-5 small mangos and peel them.. Then cut into small pieces and removed the seeds.. Put them into a pressure cooker and cook over medium heat for 2 – 3 whistle along with water. Allow the mango pulp to cool. Then add sugar and spices : 1 table spoon black salt, half table spoon black pepper powder, half table spoon roasted jeera or cumin seeds (powdered) , few mint leaves and add table salt to test. Then put the mixture into the grinder and Blend together until smooth..

And your thunder drink is ready to served …

 This Mango sarbat concentrate is easy to store and has a long shelf life..store in refrigerator…

There’s nothing like the real flavor of fresh vegetables that’s directly from your own garden.

….picking fresh, shiny and smooth tomatoes or any vegetable or fruits from your garden is just like a dream for the people leaving in cities and of course me too… But I remember my childhood days, when Maa (Mom) usually asked me to pick some fresh green chilies or mint leaves or home grown tomatoes, brinjals etc.. from our small garden, Papa’s hobbies to planting or cultivating different vegetables.. fruits.. gave us those golden chances to enjoy such fresh and home grown garden items…

Maa (Mother) is living in our heart now, she looking us from the heaven and Papa continue with his hobby even after retirement, trying to do experimenting with new things related to gardening or cultivating.. Sometime he share some pictures of his beautiful works… And I would like to share some pictures with you all… Thank you….
