Steamy puds
Desserts are such a delight and its such a special way to end a meal. I don’t know why I do not try to make desserts as often as I would love to. Myself and Rocky are voracious chilli eaters and need spicy meals to jazz up our tastebuds then ending it with a sweet note.
I am so glad to see Noel enjoying the spicy food just as much as we enjoy. Now a days he comes up asking if he can have pickle rice, those pickles are homemade and come from the chilli hub of India, Guntur. One thing I do not forget to bring when I go on holiday to India is these amazing pickles which last for a very long time and does wonders for any depressed soul at times to cheer up and zings up any day over a drizzle of ghee and steamingly hot rice.
Now coming back to my first time try, My kitchen desperately needed a sweet fragrant makeover after all the spicy chilly cooking so I experimented with this recipe I found in one of my magazine collections, bbcgoodfood when I had Noel’s friends over the half term.
All the 4 boys were eager to know what is for afters even before sitting at the dining table. As I have taken leave from work, had plenty of time in hand to make these endearing little puds for the kiddos. I wasn’t surprised at all when R and J asked their moms’ to take the recipe from me as they simply loved it.Would I be making it often, Most certainly as it was such a simple good pud and I was delighted to have tried this rather then then just drooling over the lovely pictures of the desserts in the book collection I have
Ingredients:
3 clementines
140g butter
6 tbsp golden syrup
175g caster sugar
3 eggs beaten
140g self-raising flour 85g ground almonds
How to put together:Heat oven to 200C and juice one of the clementines and set aside. Peel the other two, reserving the peel. Slice the clementines into thick rounds. Using a teaspoon, scrape away the pith from the reserved peel, then finely chop the peel. Grease 6 individual pudding basins with butter and add 1 tbsp golden syrup into each one of them andplaces sliced clementine. Take another bowl, whisk butter and sugar together until its mixed well, now add the eggs. Fold in the flour, almonds, chopped peel and the juice.
Divide the mixture between the basins then cover each tightly with foil. Now carefully place these pudding basins in a roasting tray which is half filled with boiling water from the kettle and cook in the oven for 30 mins until they are puffed up. Turn out onto plates and serve with cream or custard but I served these little puds on their own and they absolutely loved them.
Good to hear that Noel started tp like the spicy food, it makes your life easier. My kids don’t like it so when I make spicy Indian food, they cook Mac and Cheese or Noodles for themselves. They like North Indian food better than the South Indian, love parathas and Palak paneer!:D
Pudding looks delcious, love the color and perfectly baked. You can send this to 2 events “Yellow food” this month, check my side bar.
Hi my dearest Asha, You simple amaze me everytime with your info. Will send to those events right away. Noel did take time to turn this way asha, I remember we had to seach for a restaurant at our place who serves cheese sandwiches specially for him when we were hogging on dosas, idlis and what not. He never fancied but slowly he started to enjoy more for past 1 year and now he absolutely loves our indian dishes, especially our rotis, dosas, idlis and curries! Phew!! I don’t have to cook two diff types of food everyday which i used to earlier!!
