Video - How to cut mangoes for eating and preparing
June 10th, 2008 — Videos
It’s been sometime since I last posted Mango Milkshake. I had gone on a short vacation and was surprised to see that mangoes were still being sold in the market.
Though I have a few more mango recipes to share, this time I found a video on how to cut a mango for eating or preparing dishes. Generally I have seen many people in India eat mangoes as is (that is without cutting it).
I found it too messy and prefer to cut it into many pieces. One other advantage is that you get to see the beautiful color of the mango cut into various slices and since there will be many slices and dices of the mango you get to eat more.
In this video, the chef from Mango.org, shows you how to cut mangoes the right way. He uses three mangoes as examples - each with a different variety of cutting.
Enjoy more mango slicing and dicing with this helpful video. It follows below.
Easy Summer Mango Milkshake
May 19th, 2008 — Drinks
Only a few days of mango left :(, before the rains start. But you no worry, because we can make mango milkshake even if you have very less mangoes at hand.Previously I had posted how to make mango Shrikarni . Mango Milkshake is just an extension of mango shrikarni with a little bit more milk. My mom wanted to combine both recipes and call it a 2-in-1 mango shrikarni and milkshake.However I was greedy 
and asked her to prepare both of them separately. Though any mango can be used, it is preferable that a sweet variety is used. Here we have used Malgova mangoes (which are cheaper and you get more pulp).

May 4th, 2008 — Drinks
What is the best way to cool off this summer heat? Some humor and lots of fruit juices. I haven’t generally liked mixing fruits and vegetables and making them into a juice, but I had tasted carrot juice before, so I thought why not find a video about it?
Latest Update: I have added a text recipe of this video. Check below the video
In this video, the chef (courtesy: www.videojug.com) shows how you can combine Apples, Beet roots and Carrots to make this refreshing drink for summer.

April 6th, 2008 — Desserts, Rotis/Dough
I just love Puran Polis. They also go by the names Holige (in Kannada), Bobbatlu(in Telugu), Poli and Obbattu(in Tamil). Usually, during Ganesha Chathurthi, my whole day consists of eating only these sweet delicacies.
Today, being Ugadi and it’s time for these ‘Bobbatlus’ again as part of the festival menu. Here in Karnataka, Holige, as they are called, is a main item in a list of special dishes perpared during the festival.
This video is by Sudha shows you how to make Puran Poli (with Dhal). So enjoy Ugadi and also include this as part of your other festival and special occassions. If you live in Bangalore, don’t forget to call me when you make them

Snack Video - How to make Bread Pakoras?
January 19th, 2008 — Snacks
Chef Manjula shows you how to make Bread Pakora (pakoda) - a tasty evening snack. This video comes through Youtube.com. Go directly to the video if you do not want to read my boring speech below
Snacks are my favorite. I just love the fact the Indian Cooking has so many varieties of snacks that it leaves other types of world cooking far behind (I’m proud of it ). Pakoras are a favorite with me; they are cripst and taste very good when eaten with hot and sweet sauce (Maggi) or tomato ketchup. In Karnataka, Pakoras are pronounced Pakodas; I think the Pakoras are called that way in Northern India.
In this video, home-chef Manjula, who’s popular in Youtube.com Cookery videos, shows how to make Bread Pakoras. The Bread that she uses is huge, more like a Sandwich bread. I believe you can split the bread into smaller parts based on your choice. Enjoy the video below.
Cooking Video: How to make Mysore Pak
January 3rd, 2008 — Desserts
Mysore Pak is such a unique name. When I was a kid, I thought that this South Indian sweet came from Mysore and it was a type of Pak (betel nut in Tamil).
Later I realized that it nowhere close to the Tamil ‘Pak’. Well forget the history. If you’ve eaten one of these sweet cubes more than once you’d have see that there are more than one version of it. Either it is hard or it is too soft (like the popular Krishna Sweets version).
I decided to post this video from Youtube after more than a year of posting a recipe for Mysore Pak in this blog. A gentleman called Srivatsa had commented of an easier way of making it and therefore, here it is. He shows you the best possible way of making wonderful Mysore Paks.
You can also find lots of other traditional Sweets from Indian Food Kitchen main site.
