Ice Apples and Mango Smoothie

Ice Apples or the Palm Fruit is known as Tadgole in Marathi. These are seasonal and are found only during summner season. They taste a lot like the malai of the tender coconut and have cooling qualities.

                                                         
                                                          Skinned Ice Apples (Tadgole )


I love this fruit and often like to have it combined with the mango. See one more simple yet delicious
 recipe of tadgole and mango here.

Whenever I make this smoothie I remember my childhood . When kids we were not aware of all the fancy and yummy desserts like  tiramisu or pannacotta but still the childhood evokes nostalgic memories of certain seasonal fruits and dishes which I immensely miss. This dish is one of them .

This smoothie that I have made today with tadgole and mangoes is very tasty and easy to make. 
Chilled smoothie with some mint leaves  satisfies and refreshes you in this summer heat . Enjoy it chilled .

Ingredients :

3 to 4 ....................Tadgole ( Ice Apples)
2 ............................mangoes ( pulped)
10 to 15 ..................fresh mint leaves

Tadgole Ambyache Dudh (Ice apples and Mango dessert ) And Give Away Annoucement by Tangymind

Some dishes though simple rekindle a feeling which you just cant forget. This is one such very very simple dish.
When I was small we had a  Tadgole tree in our garden and during summer the house would be full of mangoes and tadgole. Since the fruit is perishable it cant be kept for many days and so had to be consumed within 2 or 3 days.
Even after distributing it to neighbours lots would remain for us and that is when this simple yet irresistible dish would be prepared .
On lazy summer afternoons it was a heavenly treat to have this chilled sweet dudh with the pieces of mangoes and tadgole.
