Kuganka, the ripe mango curry is new to me. The picture is so tempting.
Sure to try it out. What type of mango to use?

I have tried many of your tofu recipes.
Do you have a recipe for tofu and capsicum?
I have few capsicum lying in my fridge.
Thanks ka for all your help.
Rose

Thanks Rose for your nice post.
I used the mango from India called Banganapali.
It has a very sweet aroma. Where are you from?
I think you can use any small sweet mango.

I will soon post the recipe that you requested.
Keep writing and take care, Kugan.

Blueberry Coconut Dreamsicles

Prep time: 5 mins | Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 cup blueberries
⅛ cup liquid sweetener like Coconut Nectar
1 lemon juice
12 oz coconut milk

Instructions

Pour sweetener and lemon juice over berries and mix gently

Put coconut cream in a medium mixing bowl and whip until thickened adding in the blueberry mixture while whipping. Some of the berries will break down releasing their juices and creating texture. If you want the berries whole hand mix them in gently using a rubber spatula. If you prefer a quicker alternative and a more purple colored pop simply blend all of the ingredients together.

Pour mixture into popsicle molds. Place a 6 inch twig in place of the stem and freeze for 2 – 6 hours or until completely frozen. Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull popsicle from mold.

Thanks NOV anneh for another nice ice popsicle.

Kugan: It is blueberry season here. If you want I will send dried blueberries! I don't think they allow fresh fruits. Or use Champagne grapes. They are the same size as blueberries!
