Indian apple pudding

By The Veggie Indian

This apple pudding is a very healthy and delicious Indian dessert, which is often served chilled on weekends after lunch. Suitable for Diabetic diet, if sugar is reduced. I have used cornflour to thicken it instead of cream, to make it low fat and hence apt choice for diet conscious.

Preparation

Step 1

In a milk pan, boil milk. Keep stirring till it gets reduced to half its quantity. Add 2 tbsp sugar and keep stirring till it dissolves.

Step 2

Meanwhile, boil 1 cup water in a saucepan. Add grated apples, sugar and cardamom powder. Keep stirring on low flame till the water evaporates and sugar melts completely. Dont make it too dry, just a little tender. Keep aside.

Step 3

Now, combine this apple mixture with the thickened milk and mix well. Keep the flame low while doing this. Add raisins and saffron strands and keep stirring till it thickens.

Step 4

Pour in the cornflour-milk mix along with cinnamon and keep stirring on low flame till everything comes together in a thick paste. Turn off the flame and keep the pudding at room temperature to cool off.

Step 5

Chill the pudding in fridge for 2-3 hours before serving. This will get even much thicker after cooling.
Garnish with chopped nuts and sliced apples before serving.

Use condensed milk for cooking the pudding, to make it more rich and creamy. You may also add double cream towards the end for that luxurious richness. This way you would not need cornflour mixture to make it thick.
