A creamy, eggless Arabian-style milk pudding with a toasted flour base and a silky caramel glaze.

Ingredients
For the Milk Pudding:

Butter: 70g unsalted

Flour: ½ cup All-Purpose (Maida)

Milk: 2 ½ cups

Sugar: ½ cup

Flavor: 1 tsp Rose water & a pinch of salt

For the Caramel Glaze:

Sugar: ½ cup

Water: 4 tbsp (for the caramel) + ½ cup (for the slurry)

Thickener: 1 tbsp Cornstarch

Garnish (Optional):

Crushed nuts (pistachios or walnuts)

Desiccated coconut

Instructions
1. Prepare the Pudding Base
In a pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is toasted and turns one shade darker.

Gradually add the milk in batches. Pro tip: Use a whisk here to ensure everything stays perfectly smooth.

Once the milk and flour are well combined, stir in ½ cup of sugar.

Cook for 7–8 minutes until the mixture thickens and achieves a smooth, glossy finish without lumps.

Stir in the salt and rose water, then pour the mixture into your serving dish.

2. Create the Caramel Layer
In a separate small bowl, mix ½ cup water with 1 tbsp cornstarch to create a slurry; set aside.

In a clean pan, combine ½ cup sugar and 4 tbsp water. Heat over medium-high without stirring until the edges start to change color.

Lower the heat to medium and stir gently to ensure the caramel cooks evenly.

Just before it reaches a dark brown (be careful not to burn it!), turn off the heat and whisk in the cornstarch slurry.

Turn the heat back to low and keep mixing until the caramel becomes thick and shiny.

3. Set and Serve
Pour the warm caramel glaze evenly over the pudding layer.

Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

Before serving, garnish generously with nuts and coconut.
