Pudding(Microwave)

Pudding is a very easy and healthy dessert recipe.It has got nutritional value because of the eggs and milk and also due to microwave cooking.It can also be prepared on steam in a pressure cooker(as described below).This is an excellent dessert for kids as well as adults :-)This is our favourite dessert recipe and we dont mind having this even when there are a lot many other desserts present :-)


Ingredients - 
1 packet milk(500 ml)
4 eggs
sugar (11 tbspn)
vanilla essence


Method - 
Heat the milk and let it cool.
Whisk(beat) 4 eggs in a bowl well.
Mix the eggs and milk well and add vanilla essence.
Add sugar(11 tbspn) to the milk-egg mix.Sweetness can be varied as per your choice.


Put the the egg-milk mix in the microwave safe container.
Microwave this for 10-12 min.
Check by inserting a knife into the pudding, if it comes out clean, the pudding is done.
Let it cool and then refrigerate it.
Do not try to remove the pudding when hot.Let it set.
After about 1-2 hours of refrigeration slowly loosen the edges of the pudding with the help of a knife.
Once it is loose, keep a plate on top of the container and turn it upside down.
The mouth-watering pudding is ready in your plate :-)


Note - If you are not using a microwave the following are the changes in the procedure :
Take a pressure cooker, add some water to it.
Place a stand in the cooker and place the pudding container over this stand.
Close the pudding container.
Now pressure cook this for about 20-25 min without the weight(whistle).
Check and see if pudding is done with the help of a knife and then let it cool and refrigerate.


I have tried making pudding in both these ways..it tastes equally yummy :-)
