Description
Sticky dates pudding with brown sugar syrup made in a microwave. The beauty of this recipe is that it comes together very quickly and you get it right the very first time you make it. Even the most amazing recipe won’t work if you can’t make time for it in your busy life. this recipe is a fast,clever,easy,save time, sure fire solution for your time problemYou can eat this hot or cold at any time of the day. Usually ravuthar cooking does not include dates in their food for sweet or savoury. It’s used only during the month of Ramadan to break our fast.The first dish i learnt to make with dates was the sweet chatney for the chat items, followed by dates pickle, dates laddo, dates sweet made as a side dish for biriyani (my co-sister recipe) and now sticky dates pudding. My liking towards dates is not be told as i don’t fancy it much.Once Ramadan is over my refrigerator is over loaded with dates and i mostly end up making pickle.This quick pudding ensures the last course with a burst of flavours done exceptionally well. A must try recipe.
