Caramel custard recipe, Steamed Caramel pudding

Caramel custard pudding/ Caramel custard flan is a delicious wiggly jiggly dessert consisting of soft custard topped with caramel that is usually made in oven. To make it more easy for everyone I thought to try this pudding recipe in stove top method or steamed version using idli steamer that is usually available in most of the Indian kitchen. If you don’t have idli steamer its completely fine any regular saucepan or even a kadai will do the job. Caramel custard is one such must try recipes that will be greatly adored by adults and kids. This can be consumed hot or cold so you can make it at any time and have it. This melt in mouth pudding requires just handful basic ingredients and super simple hassle free procedure to achieve perfect output. The taste wise it was same as the baked version but the appearance did look quite different according to me in this steamed version though cooked for same period of time. But at the end of the day taste is what speaks so if you like puddings don’t miss it give it a try once! I shall post the baked version and a eggless version of the same pudding soon. So lets get to the making!
