Can be served warm but best chilled until firm and serve with fresh mango or fresh/canned lychees. This dish is gluten free (glutinous rice flour does not contain gluten). A heavy based saucepan is a must for this recipe for the heat to be conducted evenly. A time consuming recipe.

ALMOND PUDDING

This is a milk pudding that is served in India at open houses or for dessert. To keep a "skin" from forming on the top of the pudding while it is cooling, carefully place a piece of clear plastic wrap or waxed paper directly on the surface of the hot pudding. After the pudding has cooled, remove the paper and spoon the pudding into dessert dishes. Chilling time is not included in cooking or prep time.
