Imagine a pudding made out of jalebis, a sweet that all Indians are familiar with. This desert is so simple that you can enlist the help of your young children or grandchildren so they can share in the experience of creating something wonderful in your kitchen.
Note: After returning from Freddy's place today, I was reminded that this pudding was made by my mother-in-law Phyllis Saldanha when my husband's family were children growing up in Goa. How lovely that this Jalebi Pudding turned out to be a a walk down memory lane for the Saldanha family!
Please feel free to add a comment below if you have visited this blog. I look forward to your visiting remarks.
Ingredients
about 4-5 jalebis
2 eggs
2 cups of milk
1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste)
3 cardamon pods (skinned and seeds crushed)
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Grease or spray a baking dish well . Line the bottom of the dish with jalebis so that it is covered. Leave aside
In a mixing bowl add the milk, eggs and sugar and whisk gently with a wire whisk until smooth and well blended.
Crush the cardamons and add to the milk mixture. Stir well.
Gently pour the liquid into the jalebi lined dish.
Put into the oven and bake for 40 - 60 minutes until lightly browned on top and firm. Mine was cooked in 45 minutes. The custard will be leaving the sides of the dish when done. Let sit for 10 minutes. You can turn the pudding over onto a nice plate to serve if you want, or serve right out of the dish. Decorate as desired.
