Warm Mashroom recipe


INGREDIENTS



PREPARATION

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and cook stirring until soft. Continue cooking until the juices from the mushrooms have reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Stir in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper until evenly blended. Turn off heat, and let the mushrooms sit in the pan until they are just warm, but no longer hot - otherwise the greens will wilt too much.
2. Put the baby greens into a serving bowl, and pour the warm mushroom mixture over them. Toss to blend, and serve immediately.

Falooda ice cream


Ingredients:


Preparation:

Boil China Grass (Agar Agar) in water until it is molten. Add sugar and food color. Strain it and pur it in a bowl and leave it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hrs for setting.

Boil Sewia in water until it is cooked and keep it aside to cool.

Heat sugar until it is light brown and add cashew nuts to it. When the sugar melts and completely covers the cashew nut, take it off from the stove and keep aside for cooling. After it is cooled, crush it with something heavy, so that you get crystal like pieces for garnish.

Mix 3/4 cup pastuerized milk with 1/4 cup water and sugar and keep it aside.

For Serving 1 glass :

Pour a little rose syrup in a glass (abt 1 1/2 tbsp) and spread it around the glass, so that red color decorates the glass. Add a little kas kas and some semia to the glass. Pour some milk+water mixture, so that it fills about 1/2 the glass or less. Add some mixed fruits and china grass (sliced into small pieces). Put some caramelized cashew mix. Add a scoop of ice cream, garnish with caramelized cashew, rose syrup and cherry.

Serve and Enjoy Cooolllllllll Falooda ice cream
