VANILLA ICE CREAM | CUSTARD POWDER ICE CREAM RECIPE

Vanilla custard powder Icecream is a one which i wanted to try out for a long time. Most of the times we don't get the vanilla flavored custard powder here, recently when i saw this i picked up to try out this ice cream. Few weeks back i posted this as a guest post for Rak's Kitchen. Try out this easy, eggless ice cream with easy available ingredients and without ice cream maker too.

INGREDIENTS: YIELDS 4 SCOOPS

CUSTARD POWDER (VANILA FLAVOR)	1 AND 1/2 TBLSP
SUGAR	4-5 TBLSP
MILK (LOW FAT)	2 CUPS
CREAM	2 TBLSP

• Boil the milk in a saucepan, reserving 3 tblsps of milk aside.
• Mix the custard powder in the 3 tblsp of milk into a smooth paste without any lumps.
• Add this custard mixture to the boiled milk and keep the flame low. Stir it continuously for 2 minutes. The mixture will give a thick custard. Let it be like a dosa batter consistency.

• Add sugar to it and put off the flame.
• Allow this custard to cool down completely.
• When done, add cream to this ( i used the Nestle cream) and whip in the mixer for a minute.

• Pour this mixture in a freezer safe box and freeze it for an hour.
• After that take out and whip it again for a minute. Repeat this step 2 times . this is to avoid the formation of Ice and to get a creamy texture.

• After doing the whipping process for 3 times, freeze the ice cream mixture for 5-6 hours.
• Your vanilla custard powder ice cream is done.

• Serve with fruits if you want.

  Note:

1. You can use any flavour of custard powder.
2. To the custard powder mixture, instead of sugar you can add condensed milk to get a rich taste.
3. You can add nuts to this after you finish off the whipping process. You will get the nutty bits while having ice cream.
4. Do not add custard powder more than the quantity mentioned.

ALOO BONDA RECIPE| A GUEST POST FROM RAK’S KITCHEN

Last week during the kids Sport day event at school, when i met Raji , she told me that she will do a guest post for me during sometime next week as i will be busy moving and settling down. That’s indeed a big surprise for me. Without any fuss,  immediately i said “okay” . Actually it was quite difficult for both of us to figure out the recipe but finally we ended up in  Aloo bonda recipe, also called as Urulai kizhanghu bonda in Tamil. 
Raji of Rak’s Kitchen doesn’t need much introduction. But still if you don’t know about  her blog just click HERE to know more about her blog. She has a wonderful space with detailed recipes and gorgeous pictures too.  Thank you so much Raji for this beautiful post . I will try this Aloo bonda soon at home.
Over to Raji now:

        Aloo bonda/ urulaikizhangu bonda is a classic tea/ coffee time snack and can be made easily. It is sure a kids favourite as it has potato stuffed inside. I wanted to try this for long time, made only once before. But somehow, I haven't made it, that often. Jeyashri asked me to do guest post last December itself, but I didn’t promised her to do one as I myself do last minute posts at my blog. Now since she was busy shifting her home, I thought of doing a guest post and fill her blog by a post. Though I tried this after years, I was happy with the result, as I was bit worried how it would turn out. So here”s the snack, that would be a family pleasing snack.
    

Aloo Bonda Recipe    Cooking time : 30 mins Makes 12 bondas   Ingredients Potato 3 Onion 1 Green chilli 2 Ginger, finely chopped 1 tsp Turmeric 1/8 tsp Salt As needed   To Temper Oil 2 tsp Mustard 3/4 tsp Urad dal 1 tsp Curry leaves 1 sprig For the batter Besan flour 1/2 cup Rice flour 1/4 cup Ghee  1 tsp Pepper (black) powder 1/2 tsp Asafoetida 3 pinches Turmeric 2 pinches Cooking soda 1 pinch Salt As needed Method Pressure cook potatoes for 3 whistles, peel off the skin once done and mash it well. Keep aside. In a kadai/ pan, season with mustard urad dal and curry leaves. Add finely chopped ginger, green chilli and onion. Fry till transparent without changing colour. Add turmeric and salt. Add cooked, mashed potatoes and mix well so that the turmeric blends evenly. Stir for 2 minutes an drizzle a tsp of oil. Transfer to a plate and cool down. Make 12 equal sized balls and set aside. In a mixing bow, mix everything under ‘For the batter’ table with little water to make a batter, it should be thick enough to coat the potato balls. Heat oil in a kadai and deep fry the potato balls dipped to coat it well in the besan batter mix. Turn over in a minute to cook evenly on both sides. Cook in medium flame. When its evenly golden fried, drain it over kitchen tissue. Notes The stuffing part can be made to suit your taste buds. You can vary the potato masala by adding mint leaves, red chilli powder etc. ; The batter Should be thick, otherwise, the look of the bonda will not be round and smooth. You can replace pepper powder with red chilli powder as will in the batter. Ghee ads a wonderful flavour along with pepper and adds crispiness too.

                  Enjoy hot with coconut chutney (getti chutney), as a tea/ coffee time snack.
