Mango Sago

Mango Sago is a identical twin of Hong Kong's Mango Pomelo Sago dessert. I missed pomelo garnish on top as I could find them so named the recipe as Mango Sago. Pomelo is basically used as garnish in this dish, so felt I haven't missed mush in making it. Mangoes are now available all around the year in markets & if not you can get canned fruit to make this cool dish.

Mixed Fruit Yogurt Parfait

Parfait is one of my favorite desserts & it tastes delicious to me when made with yogurt. It gives me a satisfaction of eating healthy when I make it with yogurt rather than cream. I love pairing yogurt with different fruits & enjoy the goodness of them. Specifically the non-fat yogurt's are little sour in taste, will pair perfectly with fruits that are sweet.

1Cup Chobani non-fat greek yogurt whisked to smooth consistency

khabeesa ~ Omani Dish

Khabeesa is a Oman breakfast dish served on eid days{acc. to wiki}. This dish is simple to make & delicious in taste. This is similar to the India puddings like vermicelli payasam, godhsambu payasam or the traditional kheer dish we make. You can get the flavors of cardamoms & rose water in every bite of this dish. Rose water always made me feel unpleasant when used in cooking. Thought this would be the same, but surprisingly I was happy with taste & smell of rose water in it. So below comes the recipe for Khabeesa, enjoy it.
