Urad dal rice is given for young girls to avoid back bone/back pain problems later. My top favorite variety rice is Ulutham paruppu sadham.

How To Make Ice Cream Without Ice Cream Maker And Cream - Homemade Ice cream

How To Make Ice Cream Without Ice Cream Maker And Cream - Homemade Ice cream:

Actually, I had a plan to make ice cream without ice cream maker. I tried twice with ice cream mixes from two different brands available in the market. I do not remember the brand names since they were not so popular. Both of the times, I was ended up being a sole eater. My hubby did not like it. I threw up half of the ice cream since I was not able to eat alone even after 3 days. My mom told me that ice cream made with custard powder is coming up great. I decided to try it. Most of the recipes were asking to mix cream. I agree that adding fresh cream makes the ice cream tastier. But, I was not able to find small pack of fresh cream and I did not want to buy large pack. So, I decided to try it without cream like my mom tried. Finally, the ice cream came up with a great taste and I had to fight to take pictures. When I took pictures 3/4th of the ice cream got emptied and started melting out. But, I managed to take a picture to post this recipe since it will be really useful for the moms who want to prepare ice cream for their kids without ice cream maker and cream. No cream means less budget, right?

I have posted banana nutella ice cream too.
