By Aanchal Mathur

Ingredients

Coconut - 1 Water - 1.5 cup Sugar - 5 tbsp Corn flour - 5 tbsp 

Step 1

Cut the coconut in half and remove the white fleshy part. Cut this into smaller pieces and add them to the grinder. Blend to shred the coconut finely. 

Step 2

Add around 1 and a half cups of lukewarm water to the grinder. Blend again to form a thick paste. Strain the paste well to extract coconut milk. Alternatively, you can also use store-bought coconut milk. 

Step 3

Add sugar to the coconut milk. Add an equal quantity of cornflour and mix thoroughly to dissolve. Now place the vessel with milk on a stove on low flame.  

Step 4

Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture has thickened a bit, remove it from heat. Grease a tin with ghee or butter and pour the milk mixture into it. 

Step 5

Allow it to cool for a few minutes at room temperature. Then refrigerate it for 2-3 hours and let it set. Turn the container upside down and carefully tap it to remove the pudding.  

Step 6

Garnish with coarse coconut powder, cut into pieces and serve.
