Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Mixture

  • Combine mango puree, soaked barley, semolina, milk powder, sugar, and heavy cream in a large bowl.
  • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Stir in cardamom powder and mango essence. Mix gently for a few seconds.

Steam the Pudding

  • Lightly grease a heat-safe bowl or ramekin.
  • Pour the mango pudding mixture into the prepared bowl.
  • Fill a larger pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
  • Carefully place the bowl containing the pudding mixture into the boiling water, ensuring the water level doesn't reach the top of the bowl.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and steam for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pudding is set and cooked through. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove the pudding from the steamer and let it cool completely before serving.
  • Once cooled, gently transfer to a serving plate.
  • Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a sprig of mint, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Mango Barley Pudding

  • Soaking the Barley: Soaking the barley beforehand is crucial for optimal texture and cooking time. At least 30 minutes is recommended, but longer soaking (even overnight) is fine.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: Taste the mixture before steaming and adjust the sugar according to your preference. You may need more or less depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.
  • Steaming Consistency: Ensure the water in your pot is gently simmering, not boiling rapidly, to prevent the pudding from scorching or becoming grainy.
  • Cooling Time: Allowing the pudding to cool completely is important for achieving the best texture. Rushing this step could result in a runny pudding.
