Who does not like the beautiful strawberries? I have this uncontrollable love for them, so I buy them almost every time I go for shopping. As far as I have seen, they have pretty short shelf life compared to any other fruits. So if I forget them for a while, I have to throw the entire stock. That happened a couple of times. So this time as soon as I bought them, I made this delicious milkshake for dinner. Yes, dinner :).
My touch to this simple milkshake was a generous amount of cardamom powder. I was not sure how it would work out. It was just out of the world. Now I know what to do with remaining strawberries.
Ingredients:
2 cups cold milk
3-4 strawberries
1 tbl spn sugar(change according to taste)
1/8 tea spn freshly powdered cardamom
Method:
In a blender, take strawberries, milk and sugar. Blend it for couple of minutes. Now add cardamom and mix.
Serve chilled.
Serves : 2
Preparation time : 2mins

This is a dish that is served at most of the poojas and temples and is quite famous with mlore amchis.Please let me know if you need this recipe. I can also share some recipes with you.Let me know. Your site is just like mini cook book to me..Any tradtional dish i think of making i just refer to u r site and it has never failed me to give a good output. Also what i like about this site is you explain it in such simple words that any one can easily understand. Thanks a lot for putting so much effort.
Shilpa: Ujwal, I have a kuvvale sasam recipe with me with buttermilk in it. I am not sure if that is the one you are talking about. I found it in a Kannada weekly and they have mentioned it is Udupi Brahmin special. Will post it soon. Let me know if that is not what you are talking about.

June 3rd, 2008 at 10:24 amLovely, I add more strawberries to mine for a stronger flavour and colour!
June 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 amI also like strawberry yoghurt. I just take some strawberries and pulse it along with some sugar for a couple of seconds in the mixie. Add it to thick curs and mix well. Serve chilled. Trust me it’s out of this world.
I meant CURDS!!
June 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 amShilpa,
I finally made your date-cake this weekend. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 C and oil to 3 T and used about 3-4 T of apple sauce. It was fabulous. I know I’ll be making it again and again. Thanks to you and your aunt for this recipe.
