I love the summer.The glistening sunshine peeking through the windows every morning, just brings a smile on my face :)!The days are so bright and beautiful!And during these hot days the one thing that everyone craves for is a nice cool bite of a frozen treat like an Ice Cream maybe? Incidentally that’s the theme for this month’s blog-hop!!

For somebody like me who’s never ever made an Ice-Cream or any frozen treat for that matter, this surely was a challenge.So I came up with the most easiest thing to make EVER using just 4 ingredients!!I don’t know what planet I was living on until now, that I never ever attempted to make a frozen yoghurt!I’m so glad I’m a part of this fabulous blog-hop because it forces me to venture out of my comfort zone and try things that I would never try otherwise 🙂

By now you  must know that I love mangoes!My two recent posts have included mango in some way and I couldn’t stop at that.Since my family cannot get enough of Mango Lassi in the summer months, it was only natural that I went for the Mango Lassi Frozen Yoghurt.I was amazed at the pure mango flavor bursting through in every bite!I’ve  used full fat yoghurt just to make it creamier.The subtle hint of the cardamom just gives it a perfect spice hit and the honey makes it perfectly sweet!A creamy and delicious treat perfect for these hot summer months~

Today I’ve got for you my most favorite appetizer in recent months.Each of these kebabs are a carnival of spicy deliciousness.The flavors just explode in your mouth.So succulent, so juicy, so moist,I’m telling you’ll fall in love with this dish.

This recipe is the result of trying to use-up two items I had on hand, some Ground Chicken and with the abundance of mangoes in the stores,some big juicy mangoes!Thai cuisine came to mind and since I had Red Curry paste in my refrigerator, I thought of making these Red Curry Kebabs along with a delicious Mango Salad!I found this amazing recipe for the kebabs in a blog called Gourmet Getaways and the recipe was exactly what I was looking for!

I’ve used ripe mangoes for the salad, although most Thai Mango salads call for unripe mangoes.Like I said I just used what I had available.If you want you can substitute unripe mangoes as well.This makes for a great party food and will appeal to both kids and adults.The salad is very easy to put together and goes very well with these kebabs!The earthy spices in the Red Curry combined with the ginger and garlic flavors the kebabs.The cilantro leaves add some freshness and the Mango Salad makes this combination complete!Earthy, sweet, tangy, exotic flavors at their best!
