Birthday Wishes!!

Today is my husband’s special day and sadly he’s not around, he’s on a business trip thousands of miles away from me. So I thought of celebrating his birthday in advance!

When it comes to surprises, well I must say I’m horrible at it, even before I plan a surprise, my face and my anxiety says it all…..but not this time bcoz I did succeed in surprising him a bit, Just a bit.

Ask me how?? Well it was simple.....first of all made a proper cake in advance (proper bcoz somehow I always ruined his b’day cake), made quick arrangements while he was away from home, invited some of our close friends , decorated the house with balloons and also gave the biggest surprise with a montage which i posted on youtube.....check this out!!!



So the menu was a combination of North-indian and South-indian cuisine, Mango ice-cream for dessert and ofcourse the most important chocolate cake!!! Overall it was a nice birthday party and i made him feel special which he is and will always be!


So let me share the recipes for Chocolate cake and Mango ice-cream!


Chocolate Cake recipe: I already made a chocolate cake sometime back. so just followed the same recipe again. Here's the link:









Mango Ice cream Recipe: This is a fruity cool treat that everyone will love and enjoy. Its the simplest and also the best.

You will need:

2 cups Mango pulp ( i used store bought)

1 cup condensed milk (Nestle carnation)

1 cup heavy cream



Directions:

Take a bowl and mix the mango pulp and condensed milk.

In a seperate bowl whip the cream till it becomes nice n fluffy.

Now add this cream into the mango mixture using a whisk.

Once done, transfer the mixture to a bowl which has a lid and allow it freeze for a couple of hours.


Let it sit in the freezer for 3-4 hrs and mango ice cream looks like this.


Serve it in your favourite dish!

These are the 2 Temptations of the day.

Hope you had a nice weekend.

Have a great week ahead.

Stay tuned as always.

Every Kiss begins with KAY!!

No i'm not promoting Kay Jewellery, its just that my husband gifted me this beautiful dazzling necklace on this valentine's day. And the Kay caption "Every kiss begins with Kay" is apt for an astonishing jewellery collection like this one and goes without saying. Its been 6 yrs that v both know each other and he never stopped surprising me till date, touchwood!! On the other hand i'm pretty bad at giving surprises. You must be wondering what this beauty n beast combination (jewellery n cuisine) is all about....well well these Peanut butter Cookies were my return gift to him on the valentine's and he says they are "Priceless". All i can do to impress him is cook a delicious meal or dish.

You may go to "My Baking" for the recipe.
