Step by step recipe of Dried Dates pudding Recipe | Chuara Pudding |Kharak Pudding with Photos of each step.
This is a simple dessert since dates are dried the soaking takes some time. Otherwise, the process is super simple. The pudding tastes great and it doesn’t have an overwhelming date taste.
I’ve been making this dessert for years, everyone loves it. But it’s not as decadent as many other desserts like Cold Cake. It has a soft, moist texture. Pudding needs to be reasonably sweet, since the cream we use is plain and not sweetened. Chocolate topping and roasted nuts really add to the flavor. I’ve used almonds in the pictorial but I usually use walnuts.
You can also make caramel, dried fig and coconut pudding similarly. I’ve tried all of these, I’ll post a separate recipe for coconut and egg pudding. Both are delicious. Dried fig or Injeer is liked by few so you can follow same recipe with 15 dried figs, if you like injeer.
Pudding tips for beginners
- I’ve made this dessert in oven but you can make it on double boiler too just like egg pudding.
- General rule for setting a pudding is to use 1 egg for 1 cup prepared liquid.
- First make a creamy mixture as per your taste. Then measure it in cup and add eggs according. So by making few changes in this recipe you can make coconut, dried fig, caramel and saffron pudding.
- I always share these tips so you understand the technique develop your own cooking skills.
