Caramel Pudding
Caramel pudding is very easy to make at home. I remember in my childhood days going to the Amber restaurant in Calcutta and have caramel pudding for dessert . It was so yummy. I loved it…until one day I thought to prepare my favourite caramel pudding for dessert at home. There are many places where we find this recipe, but I have listed here the preparation I make at home. It tastes great and I documented the recipe such that it tastes same every time I cook. So no worries if you have guests coming over.
- Serves: 4
- Preparation Time: 10 min
- Cooking Time: 10 min
Cookware used :

Ingredients :

Method to prepare Caramel Pudding :
- Boil the milk and add sugar (3 tablespoon). Keep aside for it to cool.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg and add the vanila essence.
- Add this to the milk you have kept aside and mix well.
- Now its time to make the caramel. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add 1½ teaspoon sugar and mix.

- Pour the caramel and then add the milk mixture into it.

- Let 4 whistles blow.
- Now bring out the utensil, let it cool and keep it in the refrigerator to chill.
- Before serving turn the utensil upside down for the caramel pudding to slid out onto a plate.
- Serve the caramel pudding cold

Hi
i too love indian caramel pudding:) the only problem i had with it when i prepared at home was the eggy smell, did u also get that?

Hi Roopa,
I am not sure if you have used the proportions mentioned above. With this proportion I do not get an eggy smell.
However, in general if you have the eggy smell , increase the portion of vanilla essence slightly (approx. 1 teaspoon more) and the smell would go.
Let me know if this worked.
Enjoy!
