Mohanthal Photography

Mohanthal, Mohan means lord Krishna and thal means bhog or prasad. Mohanthal is a one of the favorite sweet of lord Krishna and most popular sweet in Gujrat and Rajasthan. Mohanthal can make during the special occasion like Janmashthami, Diwali or wedding ceremony.

Guajarati sweet dish list is incomplete without Mohanthal. It is a traditionally Guajarati dessert, which is ideally know to be served to god as a bhog or Prasad. This is one of the best, most popular, and very tasty sweet. It is like a gram flour fudge with a touch of cardamom flavor and topped with sliced dry fruits.

Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.

Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Passion Fruit Kulfi, made with fresh passion fruit pulp, hint of cardamom and saffron. Perfect way to enjoy tropical fruit in summer. If you are fan of mango, pineapple, lemon kind of tropical fruits, then you will love this passion fruit flavor in this Indian style kulfi dessert. My kids are crazy for this Kulfi. Sweet tangy flavor of passion fruit works well in fruit desserts, drinks and even some savory dishes. Earlier, I made Passion Fruit Panna Cotta and Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito, but kulfi will always in top of the list.
