Mango pudding made with arrowroot. No gelatin, no agar agar recipe. A light summer dessert that would cool your stomach immediately.

When mangoes are plenty here is a yummy pudding to have on sunny hot days. A light dessert after a nice lunch or brunch. Buy sweet ripe mangoes when they are in season. Tart mangoes will not produce sweet pudding as expected.

Arrowroot is a starchy root vegetable similar to cassava and taro. It has many medicinal properties and anti inflammatory. It is known to immediately reduce the stomach burning from the summer heat, is a proven home remedy. A plain porridge version is given during diarrhea to bring instant relief. This helps to rehydrate the body and prevents fluid loss.

A fancier version is here on the blog arrowroot pudding , a religious arrowroot recipe is koova veragiyathu

To a wide pan add 3 tbsp sugar, arrowroot powder mixture (stir well again before pouring)
Add 2 cups milk and 1 cup of heavy cream
On a low heat keep stirring until it starts to thicken a bit.
Do not leave it unattended as the arrowroot powder will settle at the bottom and clump up.
Add the mango pulp keep stirring well.
Now add the cardamom powder.
Keep stirring until the mixture thickens well it should still be in pour able consistency.
Keep the bowls or ramekins ready and pour the hot mixture straight from stove to it quickly. Fill to only just more than halfÂ so there is room to put toppings.
Allow this to cool down completely and come to room temperature.
Then refrigerate for two hours for the pudding to set well.
The top firms up. Keep the pudding refrigerated until served.
Keep the toppings ready. Decorate on top of the pudding as desired just before serving.

Notes

If you leave the arrowroot mixture unattended without stirring the mixture will clump up mess up the whole recipe.

Unlike gelatin and agar agar pudding jelly like texture this one will be more creamy and soft like ice cream.

If using candied fruits for topping reduce sugar in the pudding.

Please Note :

Unlike gelatin or agar agar pudding this will not set firm up like jelly.
Reduce sugar if using candied fruits. Candied pineapple, kiwi, ginger etc would complement well as a topping here.

I totally love that you used koova podi to make this pudding instead of corn flour! What a healthier alternative... I do hate garish music in some of the videos, a light music would do... 🙂 The video is definitely neat, love the lighting in the clicks, just so beautiful... I hope the silence will be broken now... 😉
