I am used to make pudding with rice, tried a different recipe with green lentils. Tasted amazing! Sharing the recipe!
Ingredients
- Six cups milk
- 1/2 cup green lentils (soak them for 30 minutes)
- Sugar or Jaggery (1/2 cup)
- Cashews – 2 oz
- Raisins – 20
- Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp
Process 1
- Wash and soak the green lentils for about 30 minutes.
- Pour 3 cups of milk in the washed lentils and bring it to a boil while stirring
- The milk will start condensing – continue to keep stirring
- Add the remaining ingredients (sugar/jaggery, cashews, raisins, cardamom powder) from above into the boiling mixture
- Pour the remaining 3 cups of milk and continue to keep stirring
- It takes about 45 minutes to condense and for lentils to boil directly in the milk
Serve hot or cold

process 2 – tastes a bit different
- Wash and soak the green lentils for about 30 minutes
- Pour water in it and pressure cook it for 3 whistles (Takes about 5-8 minutes)
- Remove it from the pressure cooker into a pot, add sugar and milk and bring it to a boil
- Fry cashews and raisins in 1oz butter and add it to the mixture above
- Sprinkle some cardamom powder
Serve hot or cold
Variations
- Try rice instead of lentils
- Fry the cashews and raisins in butter and add them in
- Switch the cashews to almonds or pistachios
- Add a handful of grated coconut
- Use coconut milk instead of regular milk (Best when used with Process 2 above)
