Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pudding from burning.
- Stir constantly: Stir the pudding constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
- Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding is done when it is thick and creamy. Overcooking will make the pudding tough and chewy.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Indian pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
