So in summer whats better than the king of all fruits MANGOE,So i made this vanilla custard mixed it with some fresh mangoe pc's n refrigerated....the very mention of mangoes brings back fond memories from my home back in india.
I grew up in a family with an agriculture background...we had large acres of land filled with mangoe trees of various variety..So when summer came the half ripe mangoes were covered with straw..once ripe they were removed from it n dropped in huge barrels filled with water(back when we didnt have fridges)
Be it breakfast,lunch or dinner or during evening after nice slumber there was always a mangoe in someones hand...not the regular cut variety but the juice ones..with the juice from the mangoe drooling from the fingers to the elbow...
Apart from all these there was my grandmother just squeezing out the juice from the mangoes mix it with some sugar n in the hot afternoon sun go out...n apply layers n layers of the juice on the starw mats...to form a mangoe jelly(mamidi thandra),which is something similar to the fruit bars that we get over here.
Ingredients:
1 ripe mangoe(peeled n cut into medium size pc's)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup suagr
4 tbsp custard pwd mixed in 1/4 cup cold milk (mix thouroghly unitl it gets dissolved in the milk without any clumps)
