Eggless Mango Mousse Recipe

Mango season is here and I prepared this mango mousse which was in my to-make list for a long time. Mango Mousse is a very creamy, light and airy in texture dessert which can be prepared in less than 15 minutes. This is super easy to prepare and tastes so yummy. Only three ingredients, eggless, gelatin free or no cooking needed. You can also make this a day ahead if you are planning for a party.

 Ingredients

Mango Puree - 1/2 cup
Fresh cream/Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 2-3 tbsp, adjust as per taste

Method

If using fresh mangoes, puree them in a mixer/blender. Set aside.
Take a wide bowl and add the fresh cream and sugar, using a hand mixer whip until it forms soft peaks. Now add the mango puree and gently fold in using a spatula until well combined. All done, transfer it to a serving bowl and refrigerate for a minimun of 2 hours. Top it up with fresh mango pieces while serving.

Mango Rice - Mangai Sadham

Mango rice is such a simple and easy recipe. This is VJs favorite. Whenever he sees raw mangoes in the vegetable shop he will pick one and ask me to prepare this rice. You don't need much of ingredients or any spice powders to prepare this. All you need is some cooked rice and grated mangoes, the mango rice will be ready in minutes. Preparation method is just the same as we do for Carrot Rice. So, here is the recipe!

Ingredients

Cooked Rice - 2 cups
Mango - 1, peeled and grated
Onion - 1, chopped
Peanuts - 1 tbsp (optional)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Hing -a pinch
Salt as needed

To Temper

Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds -1 tsp
Bengal gram/channa dal - 1 tsp
Urad dal -1 tsp
Green chillies -2 slit
Curry leaves - few

Method
If using peanuts dry roast them separately first and set aside. You can also use the store brought salted peanuts. Or instead of peanuts you can also use cooked peas. 

Take a wide pan, add oil and do the seasoning with the ingredients mentioned. Then add onions and saute until they turn transparent. Now add the grated mangoes, peanuts/peas, hing, turmeric powder, salt and stir well, just to mix them together and turn off the flame. Do not over cook.

Add the cooked rice and mix gently. Check and adjust salt. Enjoy with papad/chips or with any fry.
