Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
I am not lazy!! I am lazy!! I am confused... I hate to say I do not get time to post the recipes here. Because it was me, who used to stay awake till 2 in the midnight to post the recipes, it was me, who used to try new recipes after 11 in the night just to post the recipes here... it was me, who never missed a single day to check other blogs and interact with them..
What has happened to me now!! even I am not sure. But yes, I am finding it difficult to manage my time... Hope you all will understand and wait for me to come up with regular posting.
Thanks to those who visit me here even though I am not regular..
Coming to today's recipe,
Summer is here... my kids wait for my new trials for their thrust.
Here is one more juice which is really magical as it can be prepared either with raw fruit or even the ripe one.
I have used the ripe star fruits for the juice.
The STAR FRUIT name comes because of its shape when cut into slices. It looks really beautiful.. I love those little stars.
Star fruit is green when raw. I love the green color. Its sweet and very sour when raw. I love to eat those with salt and chilli powder. You try it and you will love it..
When it turns into Golden yellow color it is ripened and tastes more sweeter.
Recipe for the juice with ripe one:
Star fruits - 10 to 12
Sugar or powdered sugar or Jaggery - 2 tbsp or as per the sweetness of the fruit
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt a pinch
Water to make juice
Wash and clean the fruit. Cut a slice and check for the sweetness or sourness.
Peel off those long lines and discard those.
Cut into half. You can see the seeds and the thread like part in the middle. Remove those.
Cut the remaining part into small pieces.
Add the sugar or powdered jaggery and cardamom powder. Put into the blender or grinder and turn into puree.
Add the water as per the taste. I added more than 1 glass of water.
Have it just like that or sieve it before serving.
Enjoy the chilled juice in this hot summer :-)
If you are using the raw fruit you may need more sweet and salt in the juice.
This makes 2 big glass of juice.
Both the juice tastes different and look different.
Any one try the raw fruit and let me know.. (I have tried both,but could not get the picture of the raw fruit juice)
Keep Smiling,

Hello Nive..how are you doing!???
Im so thirsty...;)
Never had a chance to drink this star fruit juice, looks super refreshing.
So refreshing and yummy .Love the addition of cardamom in it..
What an easy and tasty way to enjoy one of my most favorite fruits; star fruit! Love it with salt and red chilli powder, but with this recipe, must try that too!
Nice and refreshing juice specially in summer.
I have seen this fruit in the market, but didn’t know how to use it. Recipe looks interesting, must try soon.
Very refreshing recipe :) Want to try star fruit juice since long. Giving it a try soon
As they say - this too shall pass. You will find the time and be back to regular blogging very soon and am sure, will wonderful posts as well. Best wishes for the same. Star Fruit is one of my favs and I remember eating them with a dash of salt after school from one of those vendors on the street who also sold the fresh saunf, bor etc.. Lovely days. Making home made fruit juices are always good as you can control the sugar and besides they are preservative free, seasonal produce stuff.
I have seen this fruit but never tried eating it.. the juice sounds interesting...
Interesting juice and sounds so refreshing. Will try this sure when I find some star fruits around.
I've never thought starfruit can be used to make a drink. It sounds very refreshing and delicious.
yummy juice with very inviting colour, Love the Star fruit flavour in this..
Back in India, I loved star fruit with sweet potato chat. The juice sounds amazing.
I have never juiced starfruit so am interested to know how it tastes. It looks very refreshing and perfect for the summer.
I have bought this fruit a couple of times but never knew that you need to let them ripe..silly me I tried to eat green and it was so sour that I threw them in the bin both times! Juice looks so refreshing, maybe one glass is not enough for me :)
star fruit or kamrak is such a childhood fav. nice recipe juicing it.
Wow lovely recipe. In my childhood i have eaten this with salt and Chilli powder. Must try this version.
As soon as I checked the photo my mouth started watering.. starfruit is so sourand it juice... but with sugar it will balance. Bookmarking. a refreshing summer cooler.
Juice looks refreshing, ideal for summer. The heat will be on now for us.
Juice looks yummy. Ideal for summer months that are approaching.
I've never made star fruit juice, it looks so delicious. I too sometimes get caught up in staying till late to check out other blogs, post and work on recipes. Though I don't cook at night! I think I too need to manage my time better.
Never heard about star fruit juice..sure it would taste great
oh, I did not know that we can make juice with start fruit, looks interesting, will try sometime. loved your presentation.
Star fruit is so new to me. I have never had it before and with summer approaching, this will be a great one!
A bit of writers block is ok dear.. give it a break and you will get back even better.
And now, you send me looking for star fruit in this new town.. will update the result.
