Description

This is a refreshing and filling recipe especially for summer. Chilled custard with homemade jelly (without gelatin or agar agar), sabudana, chia seeds and fruits!

Ingredients

Custard

3 cups milk

3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. custard powder (I used Brown and Polson custard powder)

Homemade Jelly

1 and 3/4 cups water

1/4 cup rose syrup (add more sugar if needed)
4 tbsp. corn starch

Other ingredients

1/2 cup sago or sabudana

2 tbsp. chia seeds
Fruits of your choice (apple, banana, grapes, orange etc)
Slivered almonds and pistachios

Instructions

Custard

Add milk to a pot along with sugar.
Make a smooth slurry of custard powder with some milk (from the pot)
Once the milk starts to simmer add the custard slurry and stir vigorously

Simmer till the custard thickens (it makes a thick coating on a spoon)
Transfer the custard to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator

Homemade jelly

Add water to a pot with rose syrup. Add more sugar if the rose syrup isn’t sweet enough. Instead of rose syrup you can also take orange or watermelon juice.

Add 4 tbsp. of corn starch and stir well
Turn on the heat to low/medium
Keep stirring till it forms a jelly like consistency

When the jelly seems to scrape away from the sides of the pot, pour the jelly in a dish
Place the jelly in the refrigerator for 30 min
Cut the jelly in cubes and set aside

Sago or Sabudana

To a pot of boiling water add sabudana
Boil for 25-30 min or until the sago balls turn totally transparent. (check the video below for details)
Drain the water

Add the cooked sabudana to some water (room temperature) so they don’t stick to each other until we are ready to add it to the custard

Chia seeds

You can also use basil seeds or sabja seeds instead of chia seeds
Add 3/4 cups of water to 2 tbsp. of chia seeds

Soak the chia seeds for 20 min while stirring from time to time. Stirring chia seeds helps it bloom easily.

Fruits and nuts

You can use chopped apples, oranges, banana, grapes or any fruits of your choice
Garnish with slivered pistachios and almonds
