baked indian pudding

April 22nd, 2008

You might not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes baked indian pudding but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat baked indian pudding or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

On my one free day per week, I prefer to eat mexican food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating mexican meals but am very pleased to see it is possible. If you feel like trying some mexican food, I propose you make baked indian pudding which is one of my most adored mexican recipes.

Baked Indian Pudding

3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of cinnamon and ginger

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a saucepan, mix milk and molasses. Stir in cornmeal. Cook over medium heat and stir until thickened (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and add butter.

In a separate bowl, mix egg, sugar, salt and spices to taste. Add 1/2 cup of hot mixture to egg-sugar mixture. Stir, then add egg-sugar mix to hot mix. Stir again. Pour into a 1-quart casserole dish and set in a bed of water. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours. The top will spring to the touch when done.

Serve with Lemon Sauce.

Lemon Sauce
1/2 cup butter
3/8 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup hot water

Melt butter and mix with sugar. Beat in egg and lemon juice. Mix in nutmeg and pour hot water over all and blend. Place over a double boiler and cook over low heat. When thickened, remove from heat and serve. A tablespoon or two of brandy can be blended in easily before serving, if desired.

You can adapt the recipe to make it a little healthier or with not so many calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It worked for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
