Mangalorean Coconut Rice

Coconut Panna Cotta

February 16, 2014 fromthefryingpan 0

And so the celebration continues …and today it was a sinful dessert- a fusion of east and west .  A delightful combination of thick coconut milk mixed with cream and sugar and a few black cherries thrown it. Coconut Panna Cotta is a very light, creamy concoction that could go straight to your heart (and waistline).

Christmas Pie

Some time ago I came across this pie recipe which seemed very easy.  Somehow I have never had the confidence to make pies.  This recipe instructed the reader to just throw everything in a blender and dump it into a dish and bake it.  That’s about all I did  (except that I played around with the ingredients)and the result- a golden yellow, astonishing concoction with the bottom like a pudding, the centre like a cake in texture and a crusty, chewy top.

Christmas Apricot Coconut Cake

This year I came across an unusual combination of Apricot and Coconut.  Since I’ve never tried this before, I decided to experiment and the result was a melt in the mouth unusual Christmas Apricot Coconut Cake.  Just the thing for party time and with a glass of Apricot Liqueur. Cheers!

This was one of my favourite dishes as a child back in Mangalore.  Every time we visited our grandparents in Kundapur, we would contrive and look forward to going to the river to pick clams (shellfish) and have a rip roaring time doing so.
