For this month's Shhhh secretly cooking the theme was smoothie . I was paired with Annam Senthilkumar . She gave me fig and milk. I searched in the shops and the shopkeeper says it comes in a week. This happened throughout this month.
I was confident that I will get fig and make the smoothie. The month ended and May started. Today May 1st , Annam messaged me why I haven't posted the smoothie and asked whether I got fig or not. I replied her , I didn't get fig. She gave me another ingredient as Nungu / Ice apple.
I immediately asked my mom to buy Nungu and made this quick smoothie.
Requirements :
Nungu / Ice apple - 2 no
Boiled and cooled milk - 1/2 cup
Brown sugar / Nattu Sakkarai - 1 tbs
Method :
Remove the white skin on the top of the flesh of Nungu and chop into small pieces.
Add the Nungu pieces , Brown sugar and milk to a blender and blend till smooth.
Referigerate for ten minutes and serve.
Serve by sprinkling chopped Ice apple on top.
Note :
Cane sugar can be used . As i used brown sugar , the taste will be different and it gives a brownish colour to smoothie.
Flavouring agents like rose milk , cardamom , saffron can be used.
so so creamy and tasty.. refreshing too
