INDIAN PUDDING
The name for this time-honored dessert probably is derived from the fact that it was prepared with cornmeal, which the early American settlers strongly associated with the Indians. Similar in texture to thick porridge, this easy-to-make classic is great on a cold day when you want something warm, comforting and sweet.

MY BEST AND EASY INDIAN PUDDING
I have been making Indian pudding for ages, since I was 12 in fact. My first recipe, for the two years that I used it, came from Yankee Magazine and while it tasted good it was far too firm, nearly slice-able. Ever since that first year I made Indian pudding I have been the designated maker when in the country. I have used and tried many many recipes in 31 years and none really were what I was looking for. I wanted that soft consistency that did not whey when cooked. I have seen hundreds of recipes stating that it should whey (separate a bit) and I just do not like it. So I set out to do my own and in an easier way. Most New Englanders I know, though some do, would not dream of adding raisins, dried or fresh apples, nuts, eggs or tapioca though I have seen recipes with all of these and worse. This is heart warming, fragrant, a bit spicy and a pudding with that lovely soft consistency. Can I give exact cooking times? No, sorry, but just as flour, all corn meal will take it's own time so I will work here with consistencies not times. This is an all stove top method and I made one last night while watching a tv program. I simply came out to the kitchen on the commercials to stir. The key is keeping the stove on low once it has been turned to low. We also love this for breakfast and would never serve with whipped cream. Go anywhere in Maine and you will get ice cream on it as it should be! This is a 'not too sweet' version as most use sugars and molasses and I do not. I have never had a lump in my pudding using this recipe. I have had Indian pudding since I was 2, one bowl and I am in heaven I just know it. This looks like many steps though it really isn't and is a no fuss recipe. This is a good make ahead one too. Enjoy! c.2006

Steps:
- Using a non stick (or heavy bottomed) sauce pan add milk and heat on medium heat until nearly bubbling at the edges and steaming.
- Slowly whisk in the meal and whisk slowly until the meal is suspended in the milk, meaning none hanging out at the bottom of the pot. Continue whisking off and on until it reaches a medium thick hot cereal consistency. Again you *can* walk away and whisk every 5 minutes or so.
- Turn stove to low heat and continue to whisk off and on while it thickens. No need to be afraid. I have left it unattended for over 10 minutes and it will not scorch, lump or stick.
- When it reaches 'thick hot cereal' stage, stir in remaining ingredients. I usually whisk. Mix well to combine evenly.
- Leave pudding on low, stirring/whisking occasionally until thickened a bit more; 10-15 minutes approximately.
- Turn off heat and let the pan sit until it has cooled down half way, then cover with the lid and let it 'set.' Times will vary with setting. Last night it was 15 minutes or so and in 2 hours I could upturn the pan. Refrigerate and reheat gently; I use the microwave for individual servings.
- I used the high end of the cook time and will depend on your corn meal, heat of stove, etc -- I have seen many recipes making this pudding appear scary; stand at stove and never stop whisking the entire time. Fiddley sticks!
MICROWAVE MILK PUDDING

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the dessert masala. Place the milk and ricotta cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and, with an electric mixer or whisk, mix well. Place in the microwave and cook on high power 30 to 45 minutes, stopping first after 15 minutes, and then every 5 to 7 minutes, to stir, scrape the sides of the bowl, and mix everything together. Do this until you are left with about 2 cups of liquid. Every time you stop to stir, a thin skin will have formed on the surface break it, but carefully, to avoid giving yourself a steam burn. 2. Mix in the sugar, cardamom seeds, and dessert masala, then cook in the microwave on high another 5 minutes.3. Transfer to a serving dish, let cool, then mix in the rose essence. Garnish with the dessert masala and refrigerate at least 4 hours until chilled. Serve cold.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cornmeal: Fine or medium-grain cornmeal works best for Indian pudding, as it creates a smooth and creamy texture.
- Soak the Cornmeal: Soaking the cornmeal in milk before cooking helps to soften it and prevent it from clumping.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh milk, cream, and maple syrup enhance the flavor of the pudding.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooking can cause the pudding to become dry and crumbly. Cook just until the pudding has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Chill Before Serving: Chilling the pudding for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to meld and develop.
