Caramel custard is an Indian sweet dish which is made with just 6 ingredients. The best part is that you don’t need to have an oven to make this dish. Let me show you how to make this recipe in 4 easy steps:
INGREDIENTS:
~ Half liter of milk (दुध)
~ 1 tbsp vanilla custard powder (वेनीला क्सडर पाउडर)
~ 1 tbsp milk powder (दुध का पाउडर)
~ 4 Egg ( beaten) (अंडा)
~ 1 litre of water (पानी)
~ 8 tbsp Sugar (चीनी) (4 tbsp for mixture & 4 tbsp for caramel)
PROCESS:
Step 1 of 4: Getting started
~ In a pan, add half a liter of milk and bring it to a boil.
~ Once it gets boiled add 1 tbsp vanilla custard powder, 1 tbsp milk powder and 4 tbsp sugar. Mix it properly, and after 5 minutes pour the mixture in a bowl.
~ Let the hot mixture cool down for sometime, and when it’s a bit warm add 3 beaten eggs (keep stirring the milk while adding the eggs). In the end, make sure everything is mixed properly.
Step 2 of 4 : Making Caramel
~ In another pan take 4 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp water. Cook it on a slow flame till it becomes caramelized, make sure you don’t burn the sugar
~ Once it’s done take a medium sized bowl and coat the caramelized sugar evenly at the bottom of the bowl and wait for 10 minutes.
~After 10 minutes pour the mixture we prepared earlier on top of the caramel and cover it with a foil.
Step 3 of 4 : Steam the Pudding
~Take 1 liter of water in a Kadai.Then place a metal plate inside the cooker (plate should be above water).
~ On top of a metal plate keep the bowl which has pudding and let it steam for about 20 to 25 min.
~ After 20-25mins check the pudding with a toothpick (insert it inside the pudding) and if it comes out clean that means it is ready to serve.
Step 4 of 4: Ready to serve
~ Once it is steamed, take out the bowl from the pressure cooker and keep it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
~ Once it cools down, keep in the fridge for 1 hour
~ Before serving, take a knife and slowly unmold the sides of the custard. Then place a plate on a bowl and hold the bowl and plate tight. Then turn the plate and bowl upside down and your delicious caramel custard will be ready to serve.
