Simple Pudding


Was in a mood to make some dessert. Was thinking of options. Wanted it to be simple and easy. I noticed there was a lot of milk  left out. Then why not a simple pudding. So here it is. As I write this I have already polished off half the pudding. Left the other half for sister.



How I made it :
1.5 cups milk.
2 eggs
5 tbspn sugar
1 tspn vanilla essence.

For caramel :
3 tbspn sugar
water just to wet the sugar

Beat the eggs well. Add milk sugar and vanilla essence and beat well until well combined. Set aside.
In a small non stick pan make the caramel. Put sugar in the pan and add water. Heat it stirring continously until the mixture is a nice brown colour. Pour immediately into a stainless steel vessel. Let set for about 5 mins. Pour the mixture over the cramel.

Mean while heat water in a wide pan. I use the Idli cooker placing a steel heat pad ( the ones u use to place below hot vessel when u keep them on the kitchen counter). Once water starts boiling place the vessel over the pad and close with a plate. close the wide vessel/ idli cooker and let steam for about 20mins. 
Once done, invert the pudding on to a plate and let cool completely. Place it in a freezer and let set for about  2 hrs.
Slice and enjoy else just dig your spoon directly into it and enjoy.
