Mango sorbet with chamoy

Mangonada (chamoyada de mango): mango sorbet layered with chamoy and chile-lime salt, served all over Mexico

Features:

Mangonadas, also called chamoyadas, are a Mexican street sweet sold by neverías and fruit stands from Guadalajara to the US border: thick frozen mango blended to a slush, layered in a tall cup with sticky red chamoy and chile-lime salt and crowned with fresh mango cubes. Sweet, sour, salty and hot at once, it comes with a chewy tamarind-candy straw for stirring. Chef's tip: freeze the mango in cubes beforehand, so you get a thick spoonable slush without watering it down with ice.

Method

0/4 done

Step 1: Blend 14 oz frozen mango cubes, ½ cup mango juice or water, 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 tbsp sugar, stopping to push down, until thick and smooth like soft-serve, about 2 minutes. Adding too much liquid is the usual mistake; you want a slush that holds a spoon.
3 min
Step 2: Dip the rims of two tall glasses in a little 1 ½ tbsp chamoy sauce and then in some of the 1 tsp chile-lime salt seasoning.
2 min
Step 3: Spoon a tablespoon of 1 ½ tbsp chamoy sauce into each glass, add half the mango slush, then another drizzle of 1 ½ tbsp chamoy sauce and the rest of the slush.
4 min
Step 4: Top with 1 ripe mango, the remaining 1 ½ tbsp chamoy sauce and 1 tsp chile-lime salt seasoning. Add the 2 tamarind candy straws if using and serve at once.

Black bean tacos with lime slaw

Proof that a meat-free taco night can be the best one. The beans are mashed with chipotle and cumin so they hold together in the tortilla, and a quick lime slaw adds crunch.

Kartoshka cakeCocoa and cake crumb truffles

Soviet cafés and school canteens sold these knobbly brown 'potatoes' for a few kopecks, and they began as a thrifty way to use up sponge and biscuit trimmings at the bakery. Crumbs are bound with butter and sweetened condensed milk, flavoured with cocoa and vanilla, shaped into little potatoes, rolled in cocoa and finished with two dabs of pale butter cream for the sprouts. They are fudgy and dense like a brownie truffle, need no oven, and children love making them. Traditional bakers added a spoonful of rum, an optional extra for adult batches only; this version is alcohol-free with vanilla. The usual slip is coarse crumbs, which make the potatoes crack, so blitz them as fine as sand. Chef's tip: chill the shaped potatoes for at least 20 minutes so they hold their shape and slice cleanly.

Undu walaluFried urad dal rings in treacle

Walalu means bangles, and these dark, sticky rings of fried urad dal soaked in kithul treacle are a sweet that Sinhala families bring out for Avurudu and for special almsgivings, often made in large batches by an aunt known for her steady hand. A thick, fluffy paste of ground black gram is piped into loops and fried until crisp, then plunged straight into warm treacle, so the rings stay crunchy on the outside while drinking up the syrup. They taste a little like a darker, smokier jalebi, with a toffee finish from the palm treacle. Watery batter is what ruins them; it spreads into flat blobs, so grind the soaked dal with as little water as possible and beat it until light. This recipe uses no asafoetida, so it is naturally gluten free. Chef's tip: pipe the rings onto small squares of baking paper and lower them into the oil paper and all; the paper peels away in seconds.
