Warm and comforting, this special steamed cocoa pudding from my grandmother’s recipes is my favourite. You’ll fall in love with its moist texture and chocolate goodness. 

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

3 tsp raisins

3 tbsp roasted nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.)

½ tsp baking soda

4 tbsp ghee

3 tbsp cocoa powder

1 cup refined flour

½ cup semolina

1 cup of sugar

A cup of milk

To serve:

3 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp custard powder

1 ½ cups milk

Directions:

1. Sieve the flour. Add sugar and semolina. Mix well with milk so that no lumps are formed. Add roasted nuts, baking soda, ghee and powdered cocoa. Mix well. Add a little more milk if needed to get a very thick pouring consistency. 
2. Transfer a medium-sized microwave-safe cake container or a dish. Microwave for 7 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes before testing with a toothpick/fork/knife. 
3. For the custard, mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring all the time. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Serve custard with pudding in a separate bowl.
