Watalappan-Coconut Custard Recipe
No Bake Mango Cheesecake with Mango Sauce
Happy Diwali for all you lovely people out there celebrating!
It’s so nice to see the atmosphere here,even though this part of the town is very quiet.Loud and happy chit-chat of the neighbors in the corridors who come out to exchange sweets,children clad in their best clothes running around and in the night the darkness lights up with all those multi-colored mini lights hanging up on the balconies adding a true festive spirit into the air.
And now,I present this mango cheesecake though we’re way past the mango season.Poor hubby thought that mangoes which look plump,juicy and bright colored will surely taste good.But he was wrong.The mangoes weren’t that bad but they failed to impress me,me who grew up with a mom who was addicted to mangoes.
After making Mango Achcharu(mango pieces smothered in salt,chilli powder,sugar and vinegar,doesn’t this mix tickle your tastebuds? Not to worry,I’ll post the recipe when I get a bag of mangoes to finish),and numbing my tongue being greedy with this I hopped onto making something creamy and soothing to my palate.
Jaggery and Coconut milk Pudding/Watalappan
I’ve been away from my blog for sometime,It felt like a long silence.I was desperate to post,to get things out in the open,first Ramadan, then this excitement kept me busy.I was super excited..yeah..super excited.My little ones started schooling.
It seems like yesterday when I held my babies in my arms,having no clue as to what to do or how to take care.I braved myself for the task taking each day in with my Dearest DH next to me.It’s been forty months since then and now my little boys donned in uniforms,are off to school.Just can’t believe we made this far.
They’ve been to nursery before but this is the first step to the real world..An episode of life which I’m sure we all miss…More than them I love going to the school.It brings back all those lovely memories..chatting away with friends without a care in the world,delicious food being shared..Wish I could go back in time…
I wanted to celebrate with a post but taking the pictures and writing it up took time with the boys meddling around.Here I bring one of SriLanka’s favorite desserts and one we Muslims are famed for making..
Friends and colleagues flock around you,when you get back to school or work after the Eid holidays eagerly awaiting to taste this mouthwatering and healthy(Did I say healthy..? It doesn’t have sugar) dessert…
I love the look on their faces when I present them with a big bowl of Watalappan,like a bunch of small kids who’ve been given a bag full of candies.
