As we are in the month of Ramadhan, it actually gives us a new routine
to follow till Eid arrives. Standing for the special night prayer called
Taraweeh and reciting vithriya shareef and then attending religious lectures after that. It becomes very late to
sleep and then waking up at around 4 am. Well, this whole month
is the time for late dinners and light meal at sahar (jus before the dawn) and then
the whole day, we have to abstain from eating, drinking and other worldly
pleasures. And at the time of sunset, there comes the waqt to break the fast,
where it is likely the time to feast. So with this routine, obviously most of
us will give importance for food. Of course eating
good food is important so that we will retain our energy level throughout the
day. Usually at my home, Iftar table is served with kanji, vadas, and variety
of fruits. Here like kanji, fruits are also a must serve.. either as juice or salad
or pudding or milk shake or simply as it is...
Today I made this fruit salad with custard. It is a simple and a
delicious dessert with the creamy texture and crunchy chopped fruits with
a dollop of ice cream. So I thought of sharing this yummy recipe with you all.
Ingredients
Fruits – 1 cup
Milk – 1½ cups
Custard powder (vanilla flavored) – 1½ tbsp
Sugar – 1 tbsp
Condensed milk – 2 tbsp
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
You can use any fruits as per your taste. Today I used apple, banana,
mango, orange, mozambi, grapes and sprinkle of chopped dates.
I don’t like to use pineapple cos I feel its sour taste may spoil the dish.
Method
Chop the fruits into small cubes and keep it ready. In a small
bowl, take custard powder and pour ¼ cup milk. Mix
well without any lumps. Keep it aside.
Boil the remaining milk, then add the custard mixture, sugar and
stir well. The milk will start thickening once the custard is cooked. So keep
stirring continuously till it forms a creamy consistency. The custard will get
thickened after chilled, so let the consistency be a bit runny.
Put the fruit in a large bowl and pour down the custard,
condensed milk and mix well. Refrigerate till it become chilled. Fruit salad is
ready.
Serving Options
Sprinkle pomegranate or chopped dates and nuts or serve with ice
cream or with jelly or simply as it is.
Here I served with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream and a mango
piece to top it.
Happy Eating...!

DeleteWhat brand custard powder do you use? Where I am I don' recall ever seeing a custard powdered mix on the shelves in the baking aisle, but I'll take a look next time with a specific brand. We have a lot of Jello and pudding and kits for those but not a lot of custard.
