Egg Pudding

Shama's First Cooked Food Event made me think what I learnt to cook for the first time. May be like most of us it is making maggi, improving to omelet then to watery tea and then simple dal. Mostly my cooking skills were refined after marriage, may be because it is full time job now. But whatever I use to prepare before marriage, my mom, dad and sweet lil sis used to say superb and finish it all. My dad and sis are very fond of sweets; they can have sweets anytime of the day or even at midnight. My mom makes this egg pudding very often and it's of my favourites. Being not so sweet liking person, this one sweet is something which I never ever say no to indulge. As this pudding calls for some simple and handy ingredients, I started preparing this whenever my sis demands for it. This is one among the first to learn (cook) recipes. As today is first fasting day of Ramadan, I thought of begning my Ramadan posts with simple and sweet recipe. Egg pudding is simple to make and yummy to indulge!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 lit. Milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp Ghee/clarified butter
• 1/4 tbsp Cardamom powder
• few strands Saffron
• few Cashews, lightly fried in ghee

PREPERATION:

• Boil milk and leave it to cool. Beat eggs until foamy.
• Take 1 tbsp of lukewarm milk and soak saffron strands in it.
• Take a heavy bottom cooking vessel*; to this add beaten egg mixture, milk, ghee and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook on a low flame till water separates from milk.
• Now add sugar and soaked saffron strands. Cook till all the water evaporates.
• The consistency of the pudding should be thick and it should start sticking the spoon.
• Serve hot garnishing with fried cashews.
• Last but not least add your 'love' to make the dish 'YUMMY'.
  

This pudding is going to particiate in Shama's First Cooked Food event and also to Sanghi's Fall In Love-Milk.

NOTE: It is very important to use thick bottom cooking vessel to avoid sticking.
