Hi Tinku,

Hi Maria,I follow ur website closely,as it is very much to my taste and preferences..However my caramel custard dint set..Is the cooking time less…I mean switch on the cooker with weight,lowest flame for 20 minutes and then rest time…?
Hi Maria,I’m a regular follower of your blog..And all the dishes have come out well.however my caramel custard, which I tried as per your recipe,did not set n remained watery ..Is the 10 min of cooking on the lowest flame ( followed by resting it for 45 minutes ) not sufficient..?
Hi Suchitra,
Nice to know that you are a regular visitor of MM, thank you! I’m sorry to hear that the caramel custard recipe didnt work out. Just wanted to clarify a few things – have you cooked the pudding in pressure cooker? I’ve mentioned the cooking time of 10 mins, for pressure cooker. Also, if you’ve used cooker, the time is given after you’ve put the weight on (usually the weight is put after the steam starts coming). Is that the case?
Dear Maria.. Please find my Caramel Custard on my blog http://www.2heartsand1kitchen.blogspt.ae .. I would love to hear your feedbacks on it! Much Love, Mariam

You are welcome Aiman :)
Hello my dear Maria, I tried your caramel custard. I followed the steps ditto. But my sugar didnot caramelize, the mistake I guess I made is that I poured water as I saw the sugar evaporate and didn’t allow it to turn brown, so pls comment on that. Also is there a way to make it without egg, as it carries a stink Thank you once again u rock!
Hi Rhea,
The caramel didnt work out because of the reason you’ve mentioned. After the sugar turns liquidy, the bubbles will come and then it starts turning brown and after sometime, the bubbles settle down. Add water only at this stage.
I havent tried eggless version, so I dont know. However try making it with eggs which has a very light colour yolks and also you can add grated nutmeg or cinnamon (1/2 tsp) to reduce the eggy smell.
Hope it helps..
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria,Â

Hey Maria..

hi..maria
tried  your stuffed chickenbun and came out nice.Is there any other way to cook the caramel pudding other than the pressure cooker method.
really very good…..i dont have words to say thanks………..
Thank you so much Jaseera :)
can i know if thrs an substitute to egg to mak this pudding? is Gelatine possible
Hi Bindu,
I’m not sure about substituting eggs for this recipe. Egg is one of the important ingredients for this pudding and in some places, this pudding is known as egg pudding.
However if you are looking for an eggless pudding, please check out the following:

Cheers

Dear Maria
Could you please explain the reason for the addition of cornflour? I would like to know since its the first time I come across a caramel custard recipe that calls for its use.
Also, it would be a good idea to edit the ingredients to show the amount of condensed milk as 1 tin of 400gm . This is because condensed milk, in the market, comes in different quantities – 200g, 400g and so on. I have also observed how many readers question the amount of condensed milk to use when the recipe only says ‘1 tin’ !
Great blog by the way! Chanced upon your website yesterday and was tempted enough to try out your gobi manchurian and honeyed chicken for dinner. My husband loved the chicken so much that I packed it for his lunch today! Its the ease of cooking and the simple ingredients employed in your recipes that has won my heart :) All the best!!!
My brother’s a bachelor and I am going to share your website with him to motivate him to easy home-cooking and a healthier lifestyle!!!
Dear Mrs. Sheikh
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I’m really happy that you tried the recipes posted here & liked it too :)
About adding cornflour, it helps in binding the pudding and also holding the shape while inverting the pudding to a serving dish. Thanks for the suggestion about condensed milk tin, I’ve updated the recipe with the same.
Also thank you for sharing this site with your brother as well. Hope he finds this place helpful.
Hope to see you here often :)

Hey Maria,
The custard looks great. My cooker is too small and i cant keep any vessels inside and cook is there an alternative for the steaming perhaps in an idly cooker will that work???
Regards
Anisha
Hi Anisha,
Thank you. Yes, you can steam it in idli cooker. I do that at times. In my cooker, it takes around 18 mins on high flame & I keep it closed for 5-10 more mins.
Hope you’ll like it.
Cheers
Maria
Thnx maria will try it out

Maria,
If am going to cook this in pressure cooker/ appachembu which sort of vessals I can use . Can I make pudding in steel vessels?
Rekha
Hi Rekha,
I’ve used aluminium tin for making this pudding. You can use steel vessel if you are steaming it in appachembu. I havent used steel vessel in pressure cooker, so I’m not sure about it.
Cheers
Maria
I tried your caramel custard pudding today evening. It was superb. ……..really yummy…

Hi…
I made the custard and its getting ready in my oven. For how long does it keep well in the refrigerator? should i keep it in the freezer ?
Its really nice to see you replying to each post.
Congrats, keep up the gr8 work.
Hi Archana,
Thanks for trying the recipe. Hope you will like it.
You can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. You dont have to keep it in the freezer. It’s ideal to keep it in the chill tray.
Cheers
Maria
hey maria,
Can v cook custard in appachembu? all my custard mix went out frm my custard dish wen i tried it in pressurcooker.
Hi Silpa,
Yes, you can do the same in appachembu also.
For the above qty, in appachembu, I usually cook for 18 mins on high flame in largest burner & keep it closed for 5 mins after cooking. However the cooking time can vary depending on the pan size, burner etc;
Hope it comes out well this time…
Take care..
Cheers
Maria
@Maria, thanx 4 de reply.i think smeone else also hav asked u same ques b4.i read it yesterday n tried it. v rly njoied. i was soo happy wen it turned out rly well this tim… thanx a ton Maria

Hi Maria,
I am new to this site ,can say accidently came acroos ur blog. I was searching for an egg recipe in google and got ur site…then was going through other recipes and got attracted towards ur site.
am new to cooking but i think thru dis site i can make some gud dishes.
Pls tell me how can i make this custard in oven.
Thanks a lot Maria for ur wonderful site
Rekha
Hi Rekha,
Thank you. Hope you get to try some of the recipes and like them too.
I havent baked this pudding yet but one of my friends baked it. She suggested baking the pudding at 180 C/ 370 F for around 40 mins.
Hope it comes out well. All the best for your cooking experiments :)
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria. I have tried this recipe 3-4 times. But i am facing a small problem here. After cooking the mix in the cooker, I see that the caramel in the bottom becomes watery and even after keeping in the fridge, it does not get set. I would prefer the entire thing- both the caramel and the pudding to be set nicely.. any idea why this happens? Thanks.
Hi Senny,
I’m not very sure about why it happens like that. However try making the caramel in a bit more thicker consistency.
I assume your pudding is set, if not try cooking it a bit longer than the usual time.
Hope it comes out the way you want next time :)
All the best!
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria,
I came across your through ‘show me the curry’. I am yet to try any of your recipes but I bet they are awesome going by the comments and not to mention, the pictures. I thought I’ll start with the simple choc cake (i’ve a serious case of sweet tooth) but couldn’t resist the caramel pudding. It was my amma’s standard quick fix dessert and totally scrumptious! So, I was glad to see it here. However, I was wondering if i could make it in the oven, coz the cooker I have is not large enough to hold my baking pan. Also, I don’t have a traditional pudding bowl. So, will any glass, non stick baking suffice? Thanks :)
Hi Ambika,
Welcome to MariasMenu :)
You can bake the pudding in oven too and yes you can use normal baking tin instead of a pudding dish. You can use a non stick baking pan, aluminium baking pan etc;
Hope you will like it.
Cheers
Maria
Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply :) I have a couple more questions. I never had any interest in cooking until now so I’ve a zillion doubts for every recipe I see! Some of the recipes mentioned ‘melting the butter’. Does that mean simply melt it on the microwave or stove top? Coz again, I don’t have a double boiler.
Now this is a totally non-cooking related Q. Your face looks vaguely familiar. Are you by any chance from st.teresa’s cllg, EKm?
Thanks,
Ambika
Hi Ambika,
Its ok to have doubts. I will try to answer whatever I know :)
Melting butter is just melting it on stove top or MW, as you have said. You dont need a double boiler for that.
Yep, I’m a Teresian :) So which batch were you?
Cheers
Maria
Hey,
I just happened to read about how you get comments about having a ‘familiar face’. :D he he…Just that its always a nice feeling to see someone familiar and I had such nice memories at STC that I couldn’t help but ask! I graduated in 2003, BA Communicative English.
Hi Ambika,
Yeah I know, familiarity always helps :) I was complaining about my face being so common & not a unique one ;)
I passed out in 2002, B.com. So I’m sure we have met :) Glad to meet you here :)
Cheers
Maria
hello maria,
I bought all the ingredients except aluminium foli. wil it become nice if i don’t cover.
Hi Sheaba,
It’s better to cover the tin tightly while cooking. If you have cling film with you, try covering it tightly over the tin.
Cheers
Maria
hai,
Glad to see ur reply .Anyway i tried yesterday, it was amazing to see my first puuding experiment turned good. I just closed with lid and not with any foil or other paper.
Thanks maria. Next am planning to make ur five minute cake.Hope it will come nice.
Sheaba
Thanks Sheaba :) Great that the pudding came out well. Hope you will like the 5 min cake too.
Cheers
Maria
Hey Maria
For som reason my custard just dint set depite putting it in the fridge for hours.
Any idea what could have gone wrong?
Hi Saritha,
Was the custard cooked well? I think if it wasn’t cooked completely, it might not set. Also did you add the cornflour? It helps in binding the custard together.
Hope it comes out well next time.
Cheers
Maria
@Maria, Hi Maria
It wasn’t cooked well for sure though I kept it in the cooker for the mentioned time…Must have needed more time I guess…Thanks anyways..
I guess I was disappointed cos everythin I tried from ur site has been a hit
Will give it another shot ;)
Hi Saritha,
Try keeping it for a longer time. I usually use a 8 inch round tin, for the above qty, to make the pudding. If you are using a smaller tin, the cooking time will differ.
I’m sure it will come out great next time :)
Cheers
Maria
You have forgotten to mention about adding the vanilla essence in the recipe;-)
Thanks Saritha for pointing it out :). I’ve updated the recipe.
Cheers
Maria
Dear Maria,
We have tried your caramel custard pudding today evening. It was superb. ……..really yummy…

Anyways really happy to know that your family liked it and also for the gift :)
Cheers
Maria
Thanks Maria,
I tried the caramel custard and it turned our real good. Can we make this dish without the condensed milk substituting it with something else
norma
Hi Norma,
Thank you :)
You can use sugar instead of condensed milk. I think around 3/4 – 1 cup of sugar will do. I have always made this with the condensed milk, so am not very sure about the qty of sugar.
Condensed milk gives a more creamier texture to the pudding.
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria,
I have read many of your recipes and also enjoyed making a few of ur non veg ones– however this is the first time i am going to try this caramel custard.Please tell me when do we unmould the pudding ? before we keep it in the fridge or after it has cooled in the fridge?
thanks and keep the recipes coming — they are a boon for people like us who like nadan food but are not fortunate enough to know how to make it
norma
Dear Norma,
Thanks for your sweet & encouraging words :).
You can unmould the pudding once it becomes same as room temperature ie before keeping in the refrigerator or after keeping in the fridge, just before serving. Hope I haven’t confused you :)
Hope you will like the pudding…
Cheers
Maria
Dear Maria,
Thanks for Choclate Cake reciepe… My mother in law will be here on 16th of this month… I want to give her some variety puddings… let me know if you have such…

hi maria i am only too glad to share micro cooking with u.the time setting is according to your pudding proportion.
caramilising–take a micro dish( round ONE) spread the suger evenly and sprinkle some water all over.high micro for 4 mts..for light caramel 3 mts and for dark 4 mts..(i prefer 4 mts).then pour the pudding mixture in to it and H micro fo12 mts and let it stand therefor sometime.if u want it ti bit more hard go for 15 mts.i prefer 12 mts. .the pudding is ready.
warning
when u take out the dish aftercaramilising
you may find dark caramel here and there inbetween..dont caramilise once more thinking it is undone.it mayget too dark or burned.once i made that mistake.and the caramel was bitter.wen the pudding isready u will find that caramel has been spread allover evenly.
Dear Jameela
Thanks a lot for taking time to explain this in detail. Am sure it will be very helpful for those who are looking for pudding recipes using microwave.
Once again thank you dear :)
Cheers
Maria
hi maria ,custard pudding cameout superb. usually i add bread instead of cornflour and more eggs.i admit urs is better i added custard powder as it gives better flavour.my daughter and kids r comming for dinner.so i am going to prepare it again.oh i forgot.i prepared it in microwave and it took 15 mts totally..today the quantity is more .so i,llry half in micro and half in steam.to no the difference
Hi Jameela
Hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter & kids. Also hope that they liked the pudding.
If its ok with you, can you please send me the details of how you did it in microwave? So many readers of this blog ask for microwave recipes. Since i use MW only for heating purposes, am not very familiar with the cooking part in MW. It would be helpful for others who are interested in MW cooking.
Cheers
Maria
I tried your Caramel pudding yesterday. It is very simple to prepare and also the ingredients are easily available at home.
The pudding came out very good and everybody at home liked it.I can hear my husband asking to serve him some , right now. :) Thanks a lot for the recipe. This is my first pudding and it came out really well.
Hi Lakshmi
Thanks a lot for writing to me. Very happy to know that your family enjoyed the pudding. Its one of my all time fav pudding :)
Please do try out other recipes also when you’ve time…
Cheers
Maria
dear maria,
All your recipes turn out excellent, but this one turned out excellent only when it was steamed for 45 minutes without puting weight.when i put weight as u said and i opened after 45 minutes, the pudding was in liquid form itself,why?
Hi Reepna
I am sorry, I dont know the reason why it didnt cook properly :( Usually it comes out well for me.
Anyways, I can suggest you another method for steaming using appachembu. Steam the pudding using appachembu in high flame for 17-20 minutes. Switch off the gas and keep closed for another 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes you can open it.
Hope the pudding comes out well using this method.
Cheers
Maria
And Dear Maria, dessert spoon is larger than table spoon right?
And if so wats the conversion?
hi reepna
dessert spoon is smaller than tbsp. reduce 1/4 tsp (approx) from 1 tbsp to get 1 dessert spoon.
hope it helps…
Dear Maria,
Is it the same aluminium pan we get while buying prestige 5 lit cooker.
Hi Reepna
You can use that aluminium pan also.
dear Maria,
What kind of dish do we use as caramelising dish. and in the cooker we have to use the same dish too, right? And wats the amount of water you should add to sugar while caramelising it?
Hi Reepna
I use an aluminium tin for caramelizing the dish and I normally use the same dish in the cooker. I add around 1 tbsp of water while caramelizing.
Please do let me know if you try this out. Hope you will like it.
Cheers
Maria
hi…i am new to ur site…but i think its fab…kudos…i have started taking an active interest in cooking though i am a known foodie…i just wanted to say i tried out this pudding with just one ingredient diff ie i added custard pwdr instead of cornflour ….idea was my mom-i-laws..tasted really good …..keep the recipes flowing so that peoplel like me feel like trying…cheerio:)

hi abbey
I have seen a creme brule recipe in one of my fav cooking books, though I haven’t tried it yet. will send that recipe to you. Regarding korma, I’ve posted a mutton korma recipe. You can see it here: https://mariasmenu.com/mutton/kerala-mutton-kuruma
Hope you find this interesting.
hi ive always wanted to make a caramel pudding but also a creme brule have you got any recepies for that also please have you got a simple but delcious recipie for a korma curry with a side dish please i cant eat anything hotter than a korma but all the ones ive tried are always plain and boring thanx :)
Roopa, if you are getting an eggy smell, try adding some cinnamon powder or nutmeg powder, just before cooking the pudding. It should solve the problem. Hope this tip helps you :)
Dear Maria,
I usually add the vanilla essence to the egg while beating it (my momz method) — this clears the eggy smell.
Also, sometimes we add 1/2 tsp of finely chopped ginger just before the sugar caramelises… the end result is something unique.
I wonder if this tip will help.
Tnx … n luv ya
Hi Anilz
Thanks for sharing your tip. Adding ginger to sugar is something new to me, it sounds interesting! Will try it next time I make this..
Cheers
Maria
hi maria, nice pic:) one question, i too have posted a caramel pudding recipe in my blog, but mine always has some eggy smell after its prepared. It doesnt go off even when its taken from refrigerator. Any tips on that?
i’ll give u a variation for this recipe with out cornflour.
Hi Mridula
I think you can serve 6-8 people with the above meaurements. It can be prepared in oven also. You need to bake at 370 F for 40 minutes. Emi tried this & came out well.
maria, pls advise the serving quantity for the above recipe using the said qty of ingredients.. and also whether the same can be prepared in Oven.
hey maria..can we set the whole thing in oven?if so
vats te temerature setting??
I used a 400 gram condensed milk tin for this. Please try it out and thanks for the comment:)
Looks yummy. Planning to try it out. By the way, how much ml of condensed milk do you use?
