Apple Poha Custard

I made this Apple Poha Custard from Raks kitchen the only addition I made was poha otherwise just her recipe including measurements. I dont like custard normally but I myself had a cup of this apple poha custard. Dont justify by the click, it was an indoor night click.......but the custard was very tasty.

Ingredients:

• Apple - 1 chopped finely
• Milk - 2 cups
• Poha - a handful(I used the thick variety)
• Custard powder - 2 tblsp
• Sugar - 4 tbsp
• Elachi powder - 1 tsp (optional)

Method:

1. Soak poha in water for 5mins, drain water and keep poha aside.


2. In a small bowl add 5 tbsp milk from 2 cups and dissolve the custard powder into a smooth pasty liquid without any lumps. Keep aside.


3. Now boil the remaining milk in a non stick kadai/vessel. Keep in low flame and add the custard powder paste to the boiled milk.Stir slowly and well continuosly.


4. The mixture gets thickened very fast so be very careful after the paste is added. Stir for 2-3 mins, switch of and cool down. The consistency is little thinner thats the way we liked it.


5. Refrigerate it for atleast an hr. Add chopped apple pieces and poha at the time of serving(Leave atleast 15mins standing time) and mix well. Serve cold.

The fruits and variations are endless...we can even add nuts or tuti fruits or any other fruits when serving for kids.

If you dont have custard powder in hand dont worry : Substitute 2 tablespoons of cornflour,1/2 tsp of vanilla essence, for the above recipe...Idea from raks kitchen. For apple use vanilla essence so that its a bit neutral and apple taste is appealing.
