What I went ahead and gave her is a really sumptious pudding, with a vegetable you may not associate with sweets! I first had this pudding at my umma's aunty's house and absolutely loved it. Even though I had no clue as to how to make it and my searches on google led to no result, my umma and me put our two little heads together to make this pudding for a large gathering. Nonetheless to say, it was a success. Nobody realized that it was tapioca biting in and finally they had to ask us to know the surprise.
To read more and the recipe, do hope on to the lovely Avika's space here. Hope you enjoy the post! :)
