In every Durian season when we get Durian, I ended up eating them. Since it has a strong heat to the body, even grandmother doesn’t like to eat it much. Brother had never eaten Durian in his life at all. But this time I got this naughty idea of making him eat it somehow! Durian is a strange fruit , known as the king of all fruits among all the other fruits in the fruit world! There are so many people who are in love with this very nutritious fruit but saying that, there are people who hate it and even don’t come closer to the Durians because of it’s pungent fragrant! I compared Durian to a king who has his loyal subjects as well his foes in a kingdom. I couldn’t help giggling for my funny imaginations though!
I am sure you must have heard Payasam which is famous among the Hindu community as it’s a dessert which got added to our traditional desserts from the Indian immigrants! Brother is very greedy for payasam and he really enjoyed the Durian payasam and the Durian stuffed date sticks which I made. I realized that he noticed a difference in the taste! But since he has never tasted Durian in his life, brother never even imagined that this was Durian. I made a that fruit kebab with dates and green grapes, mainly because I wanted my brother to have Durian without suspecting the Durian pungent taste. It really worked as the taste of the Durian filling which I made to fill the dates was somewhat subtle because of the added cinnamon powder, the bees honey and the vanilla. Maybe because of these added flavours and fragrances, brother didn’t notice the actual flavour of Durian at all though he commented about the unusual taste!
That evening I washed the Durian seeds, sliced them and then soaked them in bowl of pure drinking water. What happens is by next day morning the water turns in to a thick jelly due to the reaction of the Durian seeds. It is very well known that if you drink this pure jelly early in the morning that it helps to cool down your entire system. Our forefathers used to take this jelly because of its healing and soothing properties for gastritis. What A wonder miracle of the nature! Don’t you think guys? Even though this wonder Durian is known to be very strong pungent and heating factor, but it’s seeds has all the healing goodness of calming down your body! I always think of not only the nutritional value of my food but also the colours as well. You can see what I did with the Durian seeds jelly as I added grated green cucumber and fresh carrot juice and made a drink that will fit to any king or a queen! Of course as you guessed grandmother liked the juice more than both of us!
Why waste the rest of the Durian fruits! Since I love cooking nutritious and yum food, I decided to make a dish out of the rest of the Durians! Since long time I had this craving to make something yummy by using whipping cream. This pancake layered cake has been sandwiched with whipping cream and creamy Durian mousse which Ive creamed in a separate bowl. I made the pancake batter with strawberry purée! This cake is a very flavoursome cake as I added sliced strawberries and black grapes in between every layer. Guys do you know that somehow I accomplished my task of making our little brother a Durian fan. Poor fellow nicely enjoyed the cake saying the taste is so similar to what he ate yesterday! Finally I revealed the secret of the Durian to my innocent brother as I felt very sorry for deceiving him further! After he became a fan of Durian, to my pleasant surprise he had whacked one whole Durian fruit out of the two that was left in the kitchen! This is how I made my little brother to fall in love with this wonder fruit, Durian!
Love you All!
