How to Make Rose Pudding
Start by heating milk in a saucepan. Let it come to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Once done, switch off the flame and keep it aside.
Now in another bowl, mix cornflour with milk. Whisk it really well, this step is important. You want it completely smooth, no lumps at all.
Now add rose syrup and sugar into the warm milk. Give it a good mix.
Next, slowly pour in the cornflour mixture while whisking continuously.
Turn the flame back on to medium.
Keep whisking… don’t stop here.
Within moments, you’ll see the mixture start to thicken and turn glossy. That’s your signal, it’s ready.
Immediately pour it into serving bowls.
Let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for a few hours until it sets perfectly.
Once chilled, you’ll have a soft, jiggly, creamy pudding ready to serve.
Pro Tip 💡: Always whisk continuously after adding the cornflour mixture. If you stop, lumps can form quickly.
