Ingredients
Pudding Ingredients
- 10 Eggs
- 350 gm Sugar
- 200 ml Coconut Milk thick
- 3 Cardamom Pods
- 1/2 tsp Ghee
Garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the thick coconut milk and sugar. Blend until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until light and frothy. This incorporates air for a lighter pudding texture.
- Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and lightly roast them in a dry pan. Then, grind the roasted seeds into a fine powder. Roasting enhances the cardamom's flavor.
- Gently fold the coconut milk mixture into the whisked eggs. Be careful not to deflate the eggs.
- Add the ground cardamom to the batter and mix well.
- Grease a baking dish with ghee. This prevents sticking and adds a subtle nutty flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Place the baking dish in a steamer basket inside a pot with a few inches of simmering water. Cover and steam over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the pudding is set.
- Once set, allow the pudding to cool slightly before garnishing with cashews, almonds, and pomegranate seeds.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra smooth texture, strain the coconut milk and egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before steaming or baking to remove any lumps.
- For deeper flavor, lightly toast the cashews and almonds in ghee until golden brown before sprinkling them over the pudding.
- To enhance presentation and aroma, sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg or rose petals with the cardamom just before serving.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar to the batter.
- Experiment with different toppings such as chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of honey.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
Storage Instructions
- Muttai Vatlappam can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or gently warm individual portions before serving.
