From My Rasoi: Indian Dessert Challenge

My love for Indian food knows no bounds. I gleefully consume bhel puri, saag paneer, aloo gobi, and all manner of dosas--often in a single sitting. But when it comes to dessert, the good people of the Indian subcontinent pretty much suck.* This black mark on an otherwise transcendent cuisine must be erased.

Thus, August's From My Rasoi challenge: Improved Indian Dessert.

From My Rasoi was originally conceived by Hooked on Heat, who asks us to fuse Indian spices or techniques with other food cultures. In this case, Improved Indian Dessert could mean:

1) Creative fusion of Indian flavors in a cake, pie, tart, brownie, or other non-traditional Indian dessert technique.
2) A traditional Indians dessert, altered to appeal to the Western palate.
3) Any treat that would be particularly good after a great Indian meal, including beverages, candies, etc.

The rules:
Make a dessert with an Indian twist and email toastpoint@gmail.com by Friday, August 25. I'll post a roundup with pictures by the end of the month.

Together, we can save Indian dinners everywhere from lame dessert and lackluster sweets. Plates of sliced mango with sticky rice--begone!

*Note: This is what is known as exaggeration for effect. Of course, some Indian desserts are decent. But it's high time curry and chocolate became friends, and you know it.

I really like mango with sticky rice. But I consider it a Thai dessert.

That sounds great. All the best in hosting the event.

Hi Everybody,

I have been trying to figure out a place to start with the acai berry free trial & was wondering if someone had any opinions on whether or not it works for weight loss? So far here is the 1 [url=http://acaiberries.weblog.com/acai-berry-free-samples-what-you-get-know-more/]article[/url] I've been able to read that seemed real for what my goals are. Opinions?
