Madhuram, I just posted a mango cheesecake recipe– I think we Indians are collectively missing the wonderful mango as we go through summer
Your mango bread looks delicious. I make one too with the Indian canned puree– it is low-fat, but not non-fat. Gotta try this one!

Hi,

I did this recipe.It cameout well.BUt it was a little hard..very little..Do you know what is the reason for that?

Ammu, it’s surprising that it was hard because mine was unbelievably soft and moist. The only thing which could have possibly gone wrong if you overmix the batter. In general for muffins and quick breads the wet ingredients and dry ingredients should be combined very lightly, other wise there is going to be excessive gluten formation making the baked goods hard.

Looks very good, indeed. I have bookmarked a few similar mango breads and am going to bake one soon.

Madhu,you asked about the tanginess of apricot in the chickpea spinach soup.Yes,it was slightly tangy.The more apricot you add the more it will be.I added around 5.Thanks

Thanks Sweatha.

Madhu,

Your post – ignorance is bliss, is so informative. I think going vegan is a great way to avoid all the horrible animal products like gelatin. The other day I was reading a blog post and was shocked to find out that even Horlicks, has fish derived ingredients in it. http://beligere.blogspot.com/2006/09/is-indian-horlicks-non-vegetarian.html

Developed countries have so many great dairy-free ice creams, butter and chocolates. In short, it is easy to be a vegan in developed countries.

Thanks Kumudha. I too heard about it recently. It’s true that following a vegan diet is quite easy here.

THANKS MADHU.It surely feels GREAT that you tried the recipe.
Love all the changes you made.I never tried the mango-berry combo thgh I have seen many.I agree with you the cardamom,and saffron sure take away the mango ness.I also did not any extract as I thght the mangoness will be lost and I used badami mangoes.I think the sugar can be adjusted a bit depending on the sweetness of mango.The bread does look SUPERB.
I too have my mini loaf pan lying God knows where!.THANKS again.

Thank you Sweatha for posting such a simple recipe.
