selvi

Mr. Kugan,

Thanks for the recipe. I prepared it yesterday. It was good.
I used 1 tin of corn instead of 1/2 cup also reduced the sugar.

Next time i am planing to reduce the coconut milk and increase corn since i like to have more corn in my pudding.

Really thanks for ur immediate reply with recipe.

In my style of kurma, i fry onion,ginger,garlic and grind along with coconut ,corriander powder,chili powder then add prefered vegitables and cook. I feel, the penag restuarant recipe includes coconut milk.


selviem, you can find it tin form in canned vegitable section. buy unsalted one.

Selviem if you cannot get cream of corn, it does not matter.
If you have fresh corn, just boil it, slice the corn kernals from the cob with a knife and add it to the pudding.
We cannot use uncooked corn kernals as the pudding cooks very fast. This is a very easy dessert just like kesari.

You can do the custard slices without adding the corn.
It tastes best when chilled.

Kavitha what I have given is the standard recipe for custard slices.
we can plus and minus according to our taste.
I am glad that it was good.
I will post my style of kurma shortly.
Thanks. Kugan98

Kugan, will the tapioca slices come out well even without egg?... do we need to substitute flour or something for the eggs for the vegetarian version?...also will this recipe work well with sweet potatoes?

Dev these slices will come out well without eggs.
Eggs are only for added taste.
Sweet potatoes the texture will be very soft.
You can make halwa with it.
I have not tried baking.

I will soon post moong dal halwa and rice halwa.


Note: glad that you posted something.
