Description

Indian pudding is molasses-rich dessert and above all Indian pudding is one of my hottest favorite desserts in Indian cuisine. Indian pudding is not that much popular as it should be, because spicy dishes have been a symbol of Indian cuisine. Indian pudding is one of those desserts that look so unappetizing yet taste so incredibly delicious. One bite of this lumpy, brown mush dish of Indian pudding, with a dab of vanilla ice cream, and you'll be sold.
