Strawberry Granita

Last week,during our regular veggie shopping,we saw a small stall called Tropical snow outside the shop and decided to check it out.It turned out to be a flavoured-shaved-ice stall,in short-something like candy or ice-stick,as it is commonly known.One spoon into it and so many memories came juggling into my mind.I’ve always loved ice-candy and still prefer it to a dollop of ice-cream.Maybe it’s the child-like feeling that draws me to it,I do get transported back into childhood with a single lick;)

Some time back,I had written down a recipe for Strawberry Granita from one of the cookery shows on Tv.I have never tasted a granita,but the end product they showed looked quite similar to a melted ice-candy.Since it was made using Strawberry crush*,the recipe was quite an easy one.I decided to make it when the temperature soared to 42*C and Chennaites were left to the mercy of the SunGod!!
