         This is a super easy and a yummy dessert. Very few ingredients goes into dishing out this amazing pudding. I flavored it with cardamom powder and rose water, but you may use vanilla essence instead. This steamed version is melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. It can also be baked in an oven. Do chill to serve along with chopped pistachios or any garnishing of your choice. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this Caramel Egg Pudding.

          For the caramel sauce - Take a pan and add the sugar and water. On a medium flame melt the sugar till its colour changes to dark brown.

          Immediately pour in a greased steel tiffin box / ramekin and swirl it around a bit. Keep it aside for a minute for it to set.
