This dessert needs no introduction
The most taken for granted dessert, but superbly delicious and ready in no time!
Call it Creme Caramel, Lagan nu Custard or Steamed Pudding more or less they are all same with little ingredient difference here and there.
We Bohras make this on gas by steaming, similar to the Parsi #lagannucustard
I have somehow avoided the dish due to the very eggy smell and flavour it has. However, this recipe I found is quite different in taste and doesn’t disgust me due to it’s egginess.
The no.of eggs is less and replaced by bread slices resulting in a dense and creamier textured pudding.
My kids love the dessert and I am happy with the amount of eggs and milk they consume in the name of steamed pudding.
What’s more this is your saviour dessert when you haven’t planned to make one. With readily available pantry ingredients this dessert is ready in no time.
