Caramel Custard

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup Sugar

2 1/2 cups Milk    

4 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla essence

Method :

Take quarter cup of sugar in a thick-bottomed pan. Add a few drops of water and heat till the sugar caramelizes.
Pour the caramel into a mould and let it settle by cooling.
Heat milk either in a microwave oven or on gas flame.
Place a metallic ring in the pressure cooker. Add four cups of water and heat.
Break eggs into a bowl. Add half cup of sugar, vanilla essence and mix gently with a whisk.
Add warm milk and mix. Strain the mixture. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the mould with the caramel. Cover with aluminium foil and place it in the cooker.
Cover with lid and steam for twenty-five to thirty minutes.
Do not use the whistle. Remove when done.
Serve, turned out with caramel side up, either hot or cold.

Reshma's Notes
This is a recipe from my old Sanjeev Kapoor book. If you wish to make these in an oven place the pudding with the alliminium foil in a bath of water in a baking tray and bake on 180C for 25 to 30 minutes or till the pudding is set.
