Description
Carrot Pudding . I got this recipe from my aunt Thasneem (moms last sister) long back and tried it once immediately back then. But didn’t like it much as the baking part kept me uncomfortable with this dish. Now that i have come out of the fear of baking its ok. I felt the pudding alone to be served seemed bland so i have added a carrot custard sauce to be served along. Which really lifted the pudding to another level. Everyone at home liked the pudding a lot. Making desserts with vegetables is one great idea to get children and every one to eat vegetables.
