Refreshing Aam Panna with Sweet mango cranberry smoothie,crispy salad with tangy potato in coriander chutney

Summer is incomplete without MANGOES ,infact summer is announced by the arrival of Amiya in the vegetable market,which is used to make pickle,chutney,dal and so amny other things,but i guess the best use of Amiya is Aam Panna which is the most refreshing drink in summer apart from smoothies and shakes,prepared specially to beat the heat specially after coming back from outing in the noon,one glass of Aam Panna and all your tiredness is gone ,it cools down body temperature too.I keep stock of mint leaves and amiya in my fridge always as the temperature here in Delhi is soaring like anything...:-( Dadi used to prepare this drink during my childhood days,yesterday when i couldnt bear the heat after comin from my driving lessons i googles for the recipe
 of Aam Panna ,recipe is taken from here
Prepared mango smoothie for dinner day before yesterday,just blended mago pulp,curd,milkand cranberries ,and ya i didnt add sugar ,perfect and filling ,quenched our thirst and hunger pang too,,;-)
These days we wait for evening thinking evening will be fine but its the same as noon,,with no mood to eat dinner is replaced by bowl of salad and mug of milk
for the salad ingredient needed
almonds 6
tomato one finely chopped
cucumber one chopped
carrot one chopped
coriander flavoured cottage cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
half tsp extra virgin olive oil

just mix everythin together
toss well
serve chilled.
Today prepared Dhania alloo after quiet a long time ,brought back many memories of Sunday lunch during summer vacations,preparation is very simple

dhania chutney ingredient
coriander leaves one cup
tomato one chopped

Mango Cranberry Smoothie looks good. Adding coriander chutney to saute potatoes is indeed a great idea.
