Elaneer payasam: Boil the milk, then reduce the heat to medium or low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Meanwhile, coarsely or smoothly grind the tender coconut pulp with a little water, depending on your preferred texture. Once the milk has cooled, mix in the ground coconut pulp. Add condensed milk, fried cashews, and a pinch of cardamom powder. Mix well. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Garlic bhel: Start by adding coconut, green chilli, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a grinder. Blend into a smooth paste. In a mixing bowl, add puffed rice, followed by ghee, the ground paste, kara boondi, sev, grated carrot, and finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Mango srikand: Take a thin cloth and hang the curd for at least 3 hours. Once all the water has drained, transfer the hung curd to a mixing bowl. Add sugar, mango pulp, and candied cardamom to the curd and mix well. Whisk until smooth, then transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with nuts. You can cover and refrigerate it until chilled before serving.
