Sugarcane Juice Sorbet

After a long gap, I am back with one of our favorite recipes. A cooler to quench the summer heat.Fresh juices are our saviors when its very hot outside.But sugarcane juice is not amongst Lil Angel's favorites list . She finds it too sweet. Her tolerable level is just a couple of sips and not more. We on the other hand love this so much that we don't mind gulping down a couple of cups at a time.

I wanted her to relish this juice too.Sugarcane juice has a number of health benefits apart from the fact that is very delicious.

•  It is an instant source of energy.
•  It has anti oxidant properties
• It promotes the clear flow of urine and helpful in avoiding kidney stones.
• Sugarcane juice is given in the treatment of jaundice

Apart from this it is really refreshing to have a cup of sugarcane juice when the summer heat is killing us.

Since she does not prefer the juice as it is,I wanted Lil one to enjoy it in a different form and thus was born this sorbet. In India, when the sugarcane juice is expressed, lime / lemon is kept between the sugarcane. The combo of lime and sugarcane is really refreshing. Here in China, sugarcane juice is expressed as such without any addition. I got this sugarcane juice [freshly expressed] ,came home and added ginger powder and lemon juice to taste. Then made it into sorbet. Lil Angel loved this!

I used :

Sugarcane juice - 300ml
Ginger powder- 1/2 a teaspoon
Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon

1. Mix all the ingredients together .
2. Put it into a freezer proof container and freeze till set. 
3. Around 10-15 minutes before serving, remove from freezer, scrape with a fork and serve in individual cups.

Note :

You can adjust the quantity of ginger powder and lemon juice to suit your taste.

Bon Appetit...

No Cook Fruit N Nut Squares

A couple of days ago Mister turned a year wiser.I made these simple and nutritious square for the occasion along  with Microwave Churma Ladoo[Wheat flour Ladoos].This is a very simple recipe and can be prepared in less than 5 minutes!!It has no added sweeteners / fats.!A quick energy boosting snack that little ones [and adults] will love.

So in the midst of B'day celebrations,this happened to be Lil angels favorite and I had a tough time stopping her from grabbing for more.

I am celebrating one more milestone.This happens to be my 300th vegan post on my blog!!

Now to the easy breezy recipe..

I used:

Pitted dates-1 cup
Almonds,roasted-1 cup
Raisins-1 cup
Sesame seeds-2 tablespoons

Pulse all the ingredients together till you get a consistency where the mixture holds itself when shaped.

Spread on a tray and mark squares,cover with a cling wrap and refrigerate for an hour before serving.

If you want to serve immediately, shape into balls and enjoy!!!!

You can add any type of nuts and dried fruit.For an exotic touch you can even dust dessicated coconut over the squares and serve...

Bon Appetit...
