Mint Chocolate Ice Cream

Desserts, Ice Cream, Kids Special, Make-Ahead Desserts, Mint, Summer Special 3 comments

I never used to try recipes with mint essence since I never got it where I lived. And then I made this mint chocolate milkshake using mint toffees and I thought of trying this ice cream also with the same and it worked out very well!
I love the flavor of mint and chocolate together so I was looking forward to tasting it. This ice cream, as all other ice creams, tasted absolutely yum!

Mint Chocolate Milkshake

beverages, chocolate, milk shakes, Mint 6 comments

Now a days I'm feeling quite lazy to write up long posts but unfortunately my draft is filled with biryani and pulao recipes, which takes forever to write and edit the step wise pictures. So I'm procrastinating and writing all the small ones!

Milkshakes are my favorite! If you are a regular visitor to my blog then you must know that I'm quite in love with milkshakes! I have a large collection of milkshake recipes! I'm always looking for new ways to spice up my milkshakes.

This time I tried the mint and chocolate combination and this is the first time I have ever made a mint and chocolate combination and I was quite taken by surprise by how well they paired together! The subtle flavor of mint enhanced and complimented the chocolate so much!

We don't get peppermint extract where I live so I used some peppermint candies! Worked well! I plan on using the same trick to make some other mint chocolate desserts later!

I have already posted a mint rice recipe, this method is mostly used when there is left over rice. Of course this can be made with freshly made rice too. I make this for lunch boxes and it's very easy and simple to make. I normally make the mint paste in the night and cook the rice and prepare the masala in the morning. Tastes awesome and very healthy too!

This is one of the easiest rice recipes to make. You can either make it as a one pot meal or use left over rice to make this. You will need only 5-10 minutes to get this done. Very easy for early mornings and a very nice lunch box recipe.
The fresh mint leaves makes this dish extremely flavorful and it tastes really yum!

Mint Thogayal Recipe / Pudina Thovaiyal Recipe

Mint, Side Dish for Idli and Dosa, Thovaiyal Recipes 16 comments

This is one of my dad's most favorite so this gets made very often in our home. Mint is so flavorful and full of health benefits. This can be had with rice. On a lazy day when you haven't made anything, a mint thovaiyal with rice and rasam, makes a simple dish so flavorful and delicious. This combination is a comfort food for many, it is that good! This is very common in South Indian homes. Check out the coriander thogayal and karuveppilai thuvaiyal recipes too.
