No matter the season, a hand blender is one of the most popularly used appliances in a typical Indian kitchen. Whether you want to whip up a chilled beverage for a hot day like lassi or want to make a nutritious base for a soup on a chilly night, Usha’s hand blender can make your everyday tasks a breeze.
If you are a health-conscious person, you’d know how important it is to prioritise cooking at home with fresh ingredients and avoid preservatives, salts, and processed sugar. Since it’s difficult to make time for each cooking process every day, a hand blender comes in handy to speed up the process. Here are some everyday recipes that Usha’s hand blender can whip up efficiently.
Banana Smoothie
If you are someone who likes to work out, adding a banana smoothie to your diet can be really helpful. Whether you want to drink it before a workout to carry something healthy to work, here’s how you can make a banana smoothie. Simply start by taking ripe bananas, chopping them into pieces, adding yoghurt and blending with Usha’s hand blender. Add honey and dry fruits and enjoy.
Chocolate Shake
Every kid loves to have a chocolatey shake every now and then. To make it quickly, especially during hot summer evenings, you can take some melted chocolate, almond milk, powdered sugar, and ice cubes and blend. Once you get a smooth consistency, pour the frothy shake into a glass, top it with chopped almonds, and serve.
Chutney
Chutneys are one of the important accompaniments in an Indian household. If you frequently make chutneys at home, instead of switching between multiple appliances, you can simply use Usha’s hand blender. With just the usual kitchen ingredients like coconut, mint, coriander, chillies, etc, you can make a range of chutneys in no time.
Fruit Popsicles
The summer heat makes you crave icy popsicles every now and then. But instead of buying popsicles from a roadside vendor, which might contain artificial colours and preservatives, you can make fruit popsicles at home. All you need to do is pick seasonal fruits like watermelon, mango, lychee, etc., and blend the pulp with a squeeze of lemon. Then, pour it into moulds, add a stick, and freeze till they are set. After a few hours, take the popsicles out and enjoy the icy, cool dessert.
Mug Cake
If you or your kids like to bake, you can make quick mug cakes during a busy weekday. You can make a smooth batter using Usha’s hand blender with flour, cookie crumbs, milk, sugar, and baking soda. After microwaving for about ten minutes, your mug cakes will be ready. To make the cake even more delicious, add a scoop of ice cream and drizzle some chocolate sauce on the top.
