Tips for a Perfectly Set Pudding!!
- Use thick curd or hung curd to reduce the amount of water that goes into the pudding and for the creamy texture. Hang fresh curd in a muslin cloth to get water out.
- The mould used should be deep so that the boiling water doesn’t enter the mold.
- Seal the top with aluminum foil well to avoid water from getting in.
- Add enough water in the vessel to steam better.
Storing
You can store it for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Top with pistachios just before serving.
