- Since the moment I plucked breadfruits, my brother gave me a hard time asking me to make a breadfruit pudding for him. So I asked him to buy half a kithul jaggery to make the pudding since he repeatedly reminded me. But his troublesome request for me to make the pudding increased since he purchased the kithul jaggery. This breadfruit pudding was once made by one of my aunts and due to its delicious richness, it is not a surprise that if someone is keep asking for it again and again!.
It is so suitable not only as a dessert but even as a tea time tiffin as well. Though I planned to make the pudding for the evening tea, the plans were delayed as suddenly next door Sister Nayana came and asked me whether I could make a colourful sweet as a party treat to keep on the party table for her little one's birthday that day. So I made a different coloured party treat out of breadfruit to be served for the birthday party that evening. Usually what I do is cut them into small thin strips and deep fry them but today I cut the breadfruit into thin slices to make them attractive for little ones. Cutting the slices into thin slices was the hardest part as it was very important to cut the breadfruit slices into equally thin slices for them to fry each slice evenly and consistently. Since I wanted the breadfruit to keep its precise shape, I carefully scraped off its skin by using a sharp knife. Alas! because of the next-door little one's party treat, I forgot the promise that I gave to my brother to make his favourite pudding. But my brother will never forget a food request like that and certainly not even his sleep. To confirm my thought correctly, he came looking for me in the evening. His face became so long when he saw that the pudding had not been made and yet his disappointment was fair as I promised him to make it. I just kept quiet about his complaining tone.
Those other breadfruits will definitely ripen within the next 2 to 3 days. Otherwise, the grandmother will make a breadfruit preserve with the leftover breadfruits. I could not escape from my next-door sister Nayana's request as well as my promise to make the pudding for my brother, so I asked my brother to finish off the final touches of the party treat so I could start to make his pudding.
Once the pudding was baked after pounding the breadfruit pieces into a paste and mixing them with kithul jaggery and other ingredients, the taste and quality of the pudding were amazing as one might wonder whether this pudding was made from breadfruit. I reduced the quantity of the kithul jaggery to the pudding to balance the sweetness as I already planned to drizzle the baked pudding top either with, kithul treacle or coconut treacle and besides one of the ingredients are dates as well. I baked 2 pudding cups for my brother as he loves this pudding.
Once I put the pudding for baking, my brother had already drizzled the sugar syrup on top of the breadfruit rings as the final touch for the party treat. The outcome of the golden brown deep-fried breadfruit fruit rings drizzled with radiant blue butterfly pea flower juice mixed with sugar syrup gave a grand festive look. My brother had done a neat job with the final touches too. Afterwards, I went and gave the birthday party treat to my next-door neighbour Sister Nayana and came home to enjoy the delicious breadfruit pudding. When I saw my brother's joyous and satisfied look on his face due to the deliciousness of the pudding, I remembered the genuine and joyful look on Sister Nayana's face when I gave her the party sweets as well. Actually, she didn't even open and check inside the sweets container at all. I always felt so privileged to think about the satisfaction and happiness of others after tasting our food even for a few moments. Even cooking for others is very strenuous, all that tiredness melts away when I see how happy others become after enjoying the truly loving and caring dishes that I cook for them everyday.
Love you All!
