Mango Mousse

Mango Mousse

Method

Peel mango and cut into medium pieces ..If u don’t have fresh mango u can use tinned  mango pulp also ..

Fresh Alphonso is the best option ..

Then combine milk  or heavy cream with mango pieces and sugar In a blender  and make a fine puree ..

In 2-3 tbsp of cold water sprinkle gelatine and allow to soak ., Then heat this for few seconds until all the gelatine dissolves..

After Cooling down  add this gelatine to the mango mixture and blend well ..

Now whip the cream to soft peaks and fold in to this  gently ..(half portion of the cream ) Keep aside the rest

I used dream whip powder.. I like the taste of dream whip cream than  the fresh cream …

So for making dream whip ,add 2 sachet of powder to one  cup of cold milk ,and 2drop of vanilla essence  and mix..

Take a hand blender  and beat for 5 to 10 minutes in high speed  or till u get the soft peaks ..

Now take serving glass or bowl ,add a portion of the mousse to the bowl, then add one to two tbsp of whip cream ..

Then another layer of mango mousse ..Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until set ..

Finally pipe whip cream to the top and decorate with a cherry ..

Enjoy the delicious mango mousse ..U can keep this in the fridge for two days …

Note : I like soft type of mousse ..so here i used 2 tsp of gelatine …If u want stiffer texture u can add more gelatine ..

If u want to bite mango pieces in between ,u can add small chunks of mango in the mousse or after putting one layer of the mousse and keep in the fridge for 10 minutes then add mango pieces and then mango mousse ..  ..

Thats all depend up on ur personal choice .. Hope u will try this easy delicious dessert in this mango season and ha don’t forget to write to me 🙂

Ingredients

Kanni Manga Achar

Tender Mangoes(nalla cheriya puli ulla Kanni Manga) -1 kg

Crystal Salt (kalluppu)-100gm

Boiled Cooled Water-Enough to soak the mangoes (opt)

Thilappichu ariya Vellam -manga nannayi mungi kidakkan patunna alavu

Red Chilli Powder(Mulaku podi)-3 1/2 to 4 tbsp (Can adjust the spice level )

Crushed Mustard Seeds(Kaduku Parippu)- 1 1/2 tbsp

Asafoetida powder (Kayam podi)-1/4tsp (opt)

Sesame Oil(Nallenna )-2tbsp (opt)

kanni manga achar/tender mango pickle

Method

First Stage

1.Very small sour kanni manga is the best to make this pickle ..

2.Cut each mango from bunch carefully with one centimetre stalk (thandu,kanni)

Kanni Manga Achar/Tnder mango pickle

Kanni Manga Achar/Tnder mango pickle

3.Wash well and pat dry each mango with a clean towel..(water will reduce the shelf life )

We need stalk, to preserve the milky sap (chona) ,which plays an important role in this pickle to enhance the real taste and smell ..

4.Then Take a wide Clean dry jar or bharani ..

5.Place the mangoes in the jar and layer them with salt (kalluppu).

6.When complete close the jar with a tight lid and tie a white cloth around the neck …

7.Shake it well ..

8.Keep this jar in a dark place for 15 days ..In between shake the jar twice daily..

Second Stage

9.15th day take out the jar ..

10.U can see all the mangoes  have shrunk and have plenty of salt brine .. This is called uppu manga .U can keep this for years

11.Heat mustard in a dry pan ..Turn off the gas and make sure u don’t splutter them.. Give a quick whip to remove the outer black cover from the mustard ..Now dust the cover and keep the yellow colour pulse alone ..

12.I never did this procedure ,its readily available in supermarket in the name of kaduku parippu.. So skip that step u got this Parippu..

kanni manga achar/tender mango pickle

13.Now heat a pan and add chilli powder and continuously stir the powder in low flame and remove the pan and add asafoetida powder and mix well .. Don’t burn the chilli powder .. Keep aside ..

14.Now separate the mangoes and salt water in two clean containers ..

15.Add the chilli powder,asafoetida powder and mustard seeds to the salt water and mix well.. (Use the salt brine as needed ,to make pickle ,otherwise the pickle will go really watery ) U will understand while doing this ..

16.Then to this add mangoes ..

Transfer this to the bharani and add one tsp of sesame oil

It acts as preservative .. (Boil and cool the oil before adding it .)

  1. Keep in a dark place for about 45 to 60 days …

18.So the real authentic kanni manga achar is ready to be served …

So in the next mango season  don’t forget to try this yummy pickle 🙂

Note : In the recipe I added water coz sometime when u brine mangoes in salt and and take after 15 days ,u may feel the salt bit high .. So if so u can remove small amount of salt water from that and replace boiled and cooled water to balance the saltiness ..

Then add sugar and salt ..Stir well..

In a bowl mix cornflour with water

To this mango puree add cornflour mix little by little and stir continuously (pour the corn mix with left hand and stir well with right hand 😉 )

Otherwise lumps will form quickly ..So very careful while adding this ..

Stir well continuously until all the puree thickens and at this point all the mango mix will began to come from the sides of the vessel  ..

After 30 minutes add cardamom powder ,chopped cashew and  chopped badam.. Mix well ..

Stir for another 15 minutes

By this time quantity will be reduced ..

It will take almost 45 minutes …

Blend well with milk or water along with honey or sugar ..

U can increase or decrease the amount of water or milk ..

Serve immediately ..

 

Enjoy this healthy Smoothie ..

Note: If u want u can add ice too..But i never use 😉

 

By the by what is the difference between juice and smoothie ?

 

Smoothie : this is when the whole food is blended into a thick drink using all of the fruit – except for the skin and seed depending on what it is (this should be obvious..I hope!) Smoothies are great as the fibre from the fruit provides sustenance, filling you up and it gets your bowels moving .

 

Juice – this is when ONLY the juice is extracted from the fruit or vegetable leaving the fibre in the pulp collector at the back of the machine..

So enjoy ur day with this yummy smoothie 🙂
