Flashback: A weekend like a slow motion movie (waking late,cooking late and eating late - Slow is the word for the weekends),then lovely evening (by this time done with cooking and eating ,relaxed state),Shopping date with Honey P (much awaited anytime), Grocery shopping /Indian shop - me in my cute pink salwar (my summer wear mostly ) as usual forgot to make a note of all the things I wanted to buy-my excuse ,"I've it stored them in my mind's RAM (Random Access Memory)." And as usual my files got corrupted (shopping is such a big distraction) leading to a random memory loss .
So,purchased what I shouldn't buy than what I should and one among them were "2 boxes of Mangoes" -BOGO/Buy one get one free !! ...Oh that moment of ecstasy, I can hardly describe but sure the shopkeeper and Honey P would !!...Since then ,I was under scrutiny, "How am I gonna finish those mangoes without wasting even one." and under embarrassment as well,as whenever I visited the shop later ,I pretended that I didn't see the shopkeeper when in fact I did from the corner of my eye because he really thought it wasn't Mango but some kind of treasures hidden inside I desperately wanted to buy and he would've somehow refused to let me take them home.
Little Fast forward,I turned my pressure and treasure (Mangoes) into - Mango Prathaman followed by Mango semiya payasam,Mango Kerala Pachadi and now I made a drink,cool and refreshing -Mango Slush/Mango slushie . Chill chill just chill....(reminds me that song).And that's exactly what you've to do.
Slush/Slushy/Slushie are flavored frozen drinks ,made up of a slurry mixture of small ice crystals and liquid water (Wiki's definition). What makes different kinds of slushies are different flavors.There are various ways to make them as well.Here I've a very simple and easy way to make and enjoy Mango slushy.Kids will love it for sure.

Method

- Peel and slice the mango ,add the sugar and put them into the blender with enough water (I used 1 and 1/2 cups) until smooth and make a mango juice.
- Freeze them until completely frozen.
- Later,put them outside, under the room temperature,until it loosens up a bit.
- Using a fork prick them until they turn into a bit slurry mixture of ice crystals and juice(Thick version of slush) or using a blender crush the frozen juice until it just liquifies(Thin version of slush).
- That's it Mango slushy is ready to enjoy.
Note:
If using a fork,allow the slurry mixture to thin a bit (leave it under the room temperature) for a more liquified version that is drinkable with straw otherwise it'll liquify by itself slowly while you are sipping it.
Eat,DRINK,live,love deliciously,
