Phool Surprise

Phool Surprise is a signature dessert from chef Kunal Kapur which was showcased on MasterChef TV program. I was awestruck when I saw this program as the Phool surprise was really so beautiful and awesome. I was so impressed that I wanted to try it out, though I knew it would a tough task. After couple of attempts I was able to prepare it although its not as perfect as the actual recipe. I have also uploaded the video of the petals opening from my recipe. This recipe has four components, first one berry cheesecake, second one crispy ghevar, third one white chocolate petals and finally french vanilla & turmeric flavored custard. I have shared the Ghevar recipe separately and remaining three recipes are part of this recipe. This dessert is as delicious as beautiful. Berry cheesecake gives a sweet and sour tingling taste to otherwise sweet chocolate and custard. It could look like a daunting task however if you have patience you can certainly make this recipe and surprise your friends and family with it. Some important aspects of the recipe are mentioned in the recipe notes so please read them before you start preparing this recipe. 


Mango Falooda

Falooda is one of the popular cool dessert in India. Mango Falooda is made with milk, mango, home made strawberry jelly, sabja seeds flavored with Rrooh Afza and khus syrup. I have used rose syrup flavored falooda sev, and you can find at any Indian store if you do not want to make it at home. Mango falooda is a refreshing dessert during the summer and really rich. 

Fruit & Vegetable Pearls

Fruit and Vegetable pearl is a kind of jelly which can be used for garnishing desserts, chats or any snacks item. The process is called fruit/veg spherification. The pearls are prepared using agar agar and it’s a very simple technique to prepare this. This recipe has three different flavors of the pearls and you can try your own as well. 

Orange Chocolate Burfi

Chocolate Burfi, excitement! I found this recipe on master-chef (TV program) and my son was very excited to try it as he likes the colored layers of chocolate & Jelly. It is a little complex recipe and needs lot of patience to prepare; so, do try it when you have free time. The burfi came out very nice and tasted pretty good. You can also customize the thickness of layers as per your preference. The specific ingredient agar agar, used in this recipe, is available in whole foods market.
