Watermelon Pudding!


Summer has begun in India.Watermelons are flooded in the market .I just bought one y'day from the market and settled down in making this lovely dessert .My sistor enjoyed it so much and asked me make this again..I hope you too will enjoy..

You will need :

2 cups of watermelon juice
1 cup of watermelon,cut into tiny cubes
1/2 tin sweetned condensed milk
10 gms China grass or 1 packet of rasberry jelly crystals



Wash and soak the china grass in half cup of warm water.
Add the china grass/jelly crystals to the watermelon juice .Heat the watermelon juice until the china grass/crystals gets completely dissolved..



Add the condensed milk and combine well..




Add the watermelon cubes to the mixture and stir gently to combine..




Pour the mixture into ramekins ..Refrigirate to set.Transfer the pudding on a serving dish..




Scoop out watermelon balls or carve out your desired shape from the watermelon.Serve with some fresh cream and the carved out watermelon shapes.





Sending this picture to Gayathri's Magnificient Click contest..

Im sending this pink dessert to FIC-Pink/Rose hosted by Priya which is orginally started by Sunshinemom

And also Im sending this decorated watermelon pudding to Food Fanatic's Garnishing Event 


For the past two days,I bookmarked so many recipes to try..but with available ingredients at hand ,I was tempted to try the following recipes:




I have never made Bhindi do pyaaz in this way.It tasted divine and I finished off the whole thing by myself :) 



Suma's CAM curry impressed me the moment I saw it..I have never tried this combo.Though ,its considered as a common subzi in North Indian homes ,for me its new.Loved it so much..



I discovered Jeena's blog y'day only and I got addicted to her blog..This egg curry made me drool..I had all the ingredients at hand so I made this for dinner..It tasted superb!

Thanks Dk,Suma and Jeena for posting your wonderful recipes..

I have bookmarked so many recipes from other blogs too..And I wanna try them all..Very soon I will try them and let you know!


Sweet Shama has passed me these lovely awards..Thanks a lot ,Shama for thinking of me..She has also tagged me for the me-me..I will do it very soon in my next post :)








Im passing the awards to all my blogging friends .I don't wanna miss out any name...All of you deserve these ..so plz feel free to pick them up :)
