Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup dry fruits
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon curd
  • 1/2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter to grease
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala or spice mix powder

For the caramel:

  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • First lets make caramel syrup. Take a sauce pan – add sugar to it and heat it up in medium flame. Do not mix just heat it up until sugar dissolves.
  • The sugar gets dissolved and turns golden in color, do not cook more - the caramel will taste bitter.
  • Be at a safer distance and pour water, it may splutter so be careful. Let the syrup boil for 5 seconds switch off and set aside.
  • I soaked the dry fruits in orange juice for a day and made it ready. To a mixing bowl - add  flour, bread crumbs and baking powder.
  • Add baking soda, whisk it well for even mixing.
  • Add garam masala powder spice mix, whisk again.
  • Now add soaked dry fruits. Transfer the caramel syrup to a mixing bowl.
  • Add curd, oil and vanilla essence.
  • Whisk it well. Now add this to the flour. Mix well with a spatula.
  • Take a oven safe / heat proof bowl. I used my borosil 0.5 litres oven safe glass bowl.
  • Grease the bowl with generous butter. Add the pudding mixture to the bowl.
  • Cover it with a butter paper greased with butter. Then cover with aluminium foil. Tie it with a rubber band or a string.
  • You can either use your steamer or pressure cooker. Put a plate inside the cooker, add 6 cups of water to it. Place the pudding bowl on the plate.
  • Close with lid, no whistle needed. Steam cook for 2 hours.
  • In between check the water level and add water accordingly. Check after 1hr 30 mins then proceed.
  • Insert a knife in the centre of the pudding if it comes out clean then the pudding is done else steam cook for few more mins.
  • Remove from flame, set aside for 20mins. Then slide a knife at the edges then invert. Cool down completely then slice and serve Steamed Christmas Pudding.

Notes

  • Use heat proof bowl as we need to steam for 2 hours.
  • Grease the bowl well for easy demolding.
