Mango Fool

Tweet

I really missed the happenings in the blogosphere ,the last few days. My laptop crashed and the kids didn't let me use their desktop much. Only then I realized ,how much I love my own computer ! Anyways glad to be back in business.

How was your week ? Started baking all the goodies for Christmas? Is your tree up and lights on ? Usually I bake some cookies and Kerala Plum cake and share it with friends, during this time of the year. I have started the preparations and by next week, I'll be able to share some of them with you all. Meanwhile have a look at all the great cookies we have already posted on Collaborative Curry by clicking here.

The kids are all excited about the big holiday season and my daughter will have an instrumental concert in her class coming week, how exciting. The lil imp is participating in his first ever concert on Monday ! Can't wait to hear him and his friends. Even after repeated requests from us and his big sister he wouldn't sing it for us, saying "the song is only for the concert"

Coming to today's recipe: one of the simplest dessert ever, the irresistible combo of mango and cardamom, do I need to say more ? Mangoes are my most favorite fruits and this is what I would do when they are not in season, get a can and make some mango fool or some other dessert that calls for mango pulp. Here is the recipe for a simple mango fool and I hope you'll enjoy this little sunshine in winter !
