Bread pudding

This is the dish my husband waited for so long... And he loved the outcome.

I wanted a surprise for him today and here it is ... A Sweet surprise...

I learned this dish from my friend Aditi and I am grateful to her for teaching me. It is simple and fast to make.

The recipe goes like this ....

Ingredients:-
Bread pieces as much that fits your vessel
Milk 1/2 lt
Sugar 4-5 tbsp ( depending on how sweet u want )
Eggs 3 nos. Large
Custard powder 2 tbsp (optional)
Vanilla essence little
Oil for frying bread pieces

Preheat the oven at 180 C.

Cut the bread pieces in any shape you want. I wanted to make it triangle but was in hurry so ....
Fry the bread pieces in oil. I use Oil today but u can also use butter, it will give better taste and richness to the dish. Keep them aside.

Now in a blender, blend eggs, milk , sugar, custard powder and essence well. Keep it aside.

Take the pan in which you want to bake. Spread the bread pieces at the bottom of the pan.

Now pour the egg mixture u kept aside. The bread pieces will come up as u pour the mix. Now sprinkle the Nuts you have at home. I had cashew and raisins and almond, so i cut them have and spread on the pudding mixture.

Put it in oven and bake for 20 minutes at 180 C. Check in between if its done. Check using the toothpick , if it comes clean your dish is ready to serve. Otherwise bake for another 5 more minutes.

Serve hot , better this way.

Its good to surprise your family and I think its one of the way to do so... Enjoy eating!!!!!
