Delicious Bread Pudding


Bread pudding is not native to India however we've somehow included it as a part of our cuisine. This could be attributed to the British rule in India. Bread pudding can be served chilled or warm and can contain a whiskey or rum based sauce (The recipe I have put down doesn't contain any alcohol). I do hope you enjoy making this yummy desert or for some folks a sweet snack.

The Powerful Pav Bhaji (Indian Snack)

Pav Bhaji if literally translated would be 'Bread Vegetable'. However what is really is, is a fusion of 6 different vegetables mashed together with spices added to allow the person the experience a unique taste like non-before. The bhaji (vegetable) is served hot along with bread which is usually toasted with butter. I hope you have fun making this recipe and let me know what you think.
