Balumama(Uncle) and Bindu
ammayi(aunt) came home today. So I wanted to make something special for lunch. What
should I make for Lunch today? I had recently seen a recipe for Carrot
Mousse and I had been wanting to try it
out for some time. The Carrot Mousse in the recipe corner of the magazine looked so very enticing…orange creamy Mousse dressed around a juicy rasgulla….I decided I would try it out soon…may be tomorrow itself or this weekend for
sure….But tomorrow became day after tomorrow and so on…somehow I never got to making it….So
when Balumama came I decided to make him some Carrot Mousse for dessert .I was
making the Mousse for the first time….so I hesitated …After lot of pondering I
decided to go ahead with the recipe.
Made with carrots that give it
its wonderful orange colour speckled with the white of rasgullas it edible to eyeballs
and hence a good excuse to make children eat some Vitamin C’s and Vitamin A’s without
the story telling and coaxing….
I diligently followed the
recipe and as soon as the pudding was
done I transferred it to small glass bowls each with a rasgulla inside. I had
initially decided to try making the rasgullas too. But I fell short of time and
had to rely on a small tin of store brought Haldiram’s rasgulla’s.
Ingredients
Carrot Puree- 1Cup
Orange Juice-1 cup
Sugar-1 cup
Whipped cream-1 cup
Gelatin powder-20gms
Rose water-1/2 tsp
Rasgullas
Method
Mix gelatin in orange juice and
keep aside to bloom.
Whip cream to soft peaks. Add
sugar and whip more
In a saucepan add ¼ th of the
carrot puree and mix the gelatin to it. Heat it.
Add the remaining carrot puree
.Mix and keep aside to cool.
Fold whipped cream into the above
batter. Add the rosewater. Mix
Assemble
Put one rasgulla each into every glass
bowl. Pour mousse batter over it and place in the freezer for half an hour. Serve
upturned on a glass plate.
My uncle as always had a good
word for me after tasting my newly made carrot Mousse. The rasgullas were a
bit too big for my glass bowls…but when I ate a spoonful of the Mousse dipped
rasgulla , I was happy I decided to make it.
