Before we bid adieu to summer, I am sharing another spectacular cheesecake recipe bursting with summer's bounty berries folded into rich-velvety cream cheese batter on a pre-baked gluten free brownie crust that I made 2 weeks back. It was simply delicious and devoured by family, friends and neighbors.
When you craving for dessert, make cheesecake. It's easy to prepare and crowd pleasing. I made this decadent cheesecake using fresh mango, one of the guilt free desserts. This velvety smooth and golden yellow color cheesecake is low in fat, low in sugar and gluten free, what more can you expect?
Pabda/Pabo Catfish is a very popular fish in Bengali cuisine and it tastes great anyway you prepare it. In fact this type of fresh water fish doesn't need much preparation or elaborate ingredients. I bought a few packages of this fish from a Asian supermarket( sold as frozen, 14 oz. pack). I made light curry a couple of weeks back and saved some to make with poppy seeds paste.
Pan fried small fish, lentil stew and plain rice are the simply satisfying meal that we prefer sometimes. These small bluegills were caught from a local pond. They are very tasty fish. Big ones are great for fish curry. Small ones are perfect for pan frying(no deep frying needed) and lentil stew on the side, savored with plain steamed rice!
Pabo cat fish is a very delicious fresh water fish in West Bengal and and Bangladesh. No matter how you cook it's going to be tasty. This fish curry tempered with nigella seeds, lightly spiced with fresh ginger paste, cumin-coriander powder and infused with kaffir lime leaves from our back yard is simply soul satisfying.
When life gives us delicious berries we eat them just like that and make lemonade. A refreshing lemonade bursting with summer's bounty berries is one the easiest way to cool down on hot days. I used fresh strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry. It's tangy and sweet. Both the kids and adults love it. It can be made up to two days ahead for big party, cover and refrigerate until served.
Cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts I make anytime of the year. We love regular cheesecake as well as with the addition of seasonal fruits. This smooth and creamy cheesecake with fresh cherry sauce swirled in the center and the top on a gluten free brownie crust is perfect for summer get together.
