Equipment
Round Steamer Container
Blender
Sieve
Ingredients
- ½ cup Basmati Rice
- 2 cups Thick Coconut Milk I used less than 2 cup
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- ½ teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Oil
Instructions
- Wash and Soak basmati rice for 3 hours. Now strain them and add it to the blender. Pour in coconut milk slowly and grind them to a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a bowl.
- In the same blender add egg, sugar and cardamom powder. Blend them so they are combined. Pour this into the batter bowl. You can adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more coconut milk. If you take the back of the mixing ladle and draw a line using your fingers, the line should stay there. But the batter on both sides of the line should not be too thick.
- Grease a steel bowl with oil. Pour the batter inside the bowl. Sprinkle the top with some cumin seeds. Place this over a pot of boiling water. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 mins. You can press the top of pudding with your fingers to see whether it is cooked.
- Remove them from steamer, allow to cool down completely and cut into wedges. Serve.
