5 wonderful combination of ice creams to indulge yourself!!

My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left! I am perplexed by the endless supply of constantly growing flavor options. Ice cream is the perfect buffer, because you can do things in a somewhat lighthearted way. Plus, people have an emotional response to ice cream; it's more than just food. So here is a list of wonderful combinations of ice creams,that will never fail to make you happy!

1.      Chocolate Avalance at Bon Appetite:  The chocolate avalanche is the most amazing yet sinful dessert of all times. A bowl of hot brownie, with chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips and chocolate sticks… Heaven in a bowl! It is very heavy though, and unless you're famished, I suggest you share it with another person.



2.      Tutti Fruity at Scoop: A combination of brightly coloured small cubical pieces of fruits, nuts, two large scoops of vanilla ice cream and one scoop of strawberry ice cream, Tutti Fruity is bound to tingle your taste buds with its tangy twist!




3.      Fresh Alphanso Sundae at Mama Mia: Available only from April to June, Alphanso Sundae is a refreshing creation made with fresh Alphanso Sorbetto and French Vanilla, chunks of fresh Alphanso mango, mango syrup and whipped cream. Now you know where to go on a hot summer day!

  


 4.      Peach Melba at Flury’s:  A delightful fusion of Vanilla ice cream, poached peach, strawberry sauce and whipped cream, Peach Melba at Flury’s will leave you moaning for more.



5.      Baked Alaska at Magnolia: The dish is made of ice cream placed in a pie dish lined with slices of sponge cake and topped with meringue and cream. The entire dessert is then placed in an extremely hot oven for a brief time, long enough to firm the meringue. Syrup is poured over the top and the ball set alight before serving. Okay enough said! Next time when you’re in Park Street, maybe you should try it yourself! 



Baked Salmon with mustard sauce



Eating fish is associated with many cultures of the world primarily in coastal areas. It's so common that taking few names would be injustice to others. However, people belonging to the bong community have an irrevocable relationship with fish. They cook fishes so delicately that they can't resist themselves from eating it perpetually. Moreover, fish provides a lot of essential micro-nutrients. Keeping that in mind, I’ve decided to share the recipe of baked salmon in mustard sauce. With exceptional nutritional value due to the rich concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is a favorite among fish lovers and enjoyed even by those who are not always fond of fish.

Ingredients:
350 gm Salmon Fillet (about 2-3 pieces)
1 tsp mustard paste (1/2 cup black mustard seeds,1 green chili, salt, water)
2 tbsp coconut milk powder
salt to taste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp mustard oil
2-3 tbsp water

1. Pre-heat oven at 350F.

2. Wash and clean salmon and set aside.

3. Place ingredients in the blender and blend to a smooth paste. It should be a thick paste. You can store any excess in the freezer and use as required. Place each piece of salmon on aluminum foil. Now spread equal amount of the blended mixture on each piece of salmon. Using the aluminum foil make air tight salmon pouches and bake them in the pre-heated oven until the fish is cooked – about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
