Ice Apple Tender Coconut Granita

After my first sorbet making experience last year, I have been wanting to make the granita since long. I guess the long process of freezing somehow stopped me from trying this chilled , crunchy dessert.

However the minimal and simple ingredients could convince me to try it this summer and here is an Ice Apple and Tender Coconut Granita. With the fabulous output, I am thinking of trying other fresh fruit flavoured granita recipes as long as the hot summer days are in.

Ice apple and coconut are excellent to keep a person stay hydrated during the extreme hot climate. Both have cooling effects on the tummy. Hence for this granita recipe I have selected these two naturally sweet tropical fruits.

Hello There! Thanks for stopping by my blog! This is Pushpita Aheibam, a freelance feature writer by profession, food writer and blogger by passion, a wife, homemaker, a mother to an adorable boy and last but not the least a food enthusiast. To me "Food is about the palate, satiating the taste buds and the tummy, wonderful eating experiences and sweet memories." This blog is my personal attempt to retain, cook, and share traditional indigenous delicacies of my home state Tripura, as well as inherited Meitei (Manipuri) delicacies, with available local ingredients. When it comes to cooking and eating, I love to look beyond Manipuri cuisines and cooking too. After all, food knows no boundaries. Hence do find different regional recipes too which are cooked in, and served from my Contemporary Manipuri Chakhum (Kitchen) from time to time. My Ima (Mother), a loving wife, mother of two grown-ups, a homemaker, a Meitei Cuisine expert, a food connoisseur has been the major source of inspiration. Equally inspired by my Ene (Paternal Aunt), Abok Apabi (a Paternal Grandmother of mine), 2 other experts in traditional Meitei Cuisines, several food connoisseurs who I have been following right as a teen. My foodie son and hubby have been motivating me to extend my culinary journey beyond the regular cooking. So the recipes I am sharing are tried, tested in my kitchen and tasted in my home. Enjoy the food journey here in my Chakhum and do try them out in your's. Home cooked love served fresh from my kitchen. Until then happy reading and happy cooking! ~ Pushpita Aheibam
