Ginger milk pudding is very new to me. As soon as i saw this recipe i was fascinated by the fat that "how milk setting like a jelly with the help of ginger juice". Later i did my research and found that Ginger contains the protease zingipain. When milk is added to ginger juice, this protease catalyses denaturation of the protein in the milk, changing it from a water-soluble form to a water-insoluble form, and leads to the formation of milk curd.

Tips & Tricks
1)Dont get the milk too hot. It will give you like a scrambled texture of curd instead of the smooth jelly like texture.
2)You could add any sweetener as you like.
3)Pour the milk from a height which will make the milk mixed with the ginger juice. Dont mix the milk with ginger juice once added.
4)Leave it aside for 10 to 15 mins. dont disturb.
5)Use old ginger for best result. Old means little older ginger rather than young ginger.
6)The optimum curdling temperature is 70 °C (158 °F). Use a cheese thermometer for best result.
7)Traditionally buffalo milk is used, since it has much fat and the milk is thicker
