After tasting Sitaphal ice-cream in Naturals,I think the flavour just got more prominence in my mind.I've also tasted milkshakes and kulfis with a predominant sitaphal flavour.I wanted to try a phirni with it for Diwali for which I needed sitaphal pulp.I remember how in juice shops,they just pulp the fruit and seeds together and then sieve it.I followed the same method.
How to make Sitaphal Pulp
Ingredients
Sitaphal/Custard Apple - 5-6,big or 7-8 medium
Milk - 1/3 cup
Sugar - 1 tbsp,optional
Method
Scoop out the pulp with the seeds into a bowl.Into a mixer,add the pulp along with the milk and pulse for 5-10 seconds.
In a wide bowl,place a fine meshed sieve and pour the mix into it.
Using a spatula sieve the pulp.Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.You can add sugar at this point or skip it.
It is necessary to use milk as it aids grinding.If not,the seeds may get ground into the pulp and make it grainy and bitter.
Very intersting should try....Do you have the recipe for the ice cream with it too
ReplyDeleteThanks.Nope I don't,sorry!
Deletegood one ! seeds wont break right? i always have this doubt? .... so what did u do ? phirni?
ReplyDeleteNo,the seeds won't break.Even if some does break,when you sieve it,you'll get only the pulp.Yup,I made one batch of Phirni and the rest went into a milkshake :)
DeleteInteresting recipe of sitaphal pulp. Got to try this one out soon.

Hi Divya,
ReplyDeleteThat was interesting. Need to try it. I always feel it is a mess to eat it as such with the seeds all over :-) This idea will surely help.
By the way do you pulse it with the normal grinder blade itself ?
I use the juicer jar of my mixer.
DeleteI had heard about this but never tried it.Now your pictures make me want to go ahead and try .Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow long does the Custard Apple Pulp stay good? Is this pulp good for making Sitafal Ice-Cream?
