This popular Indian dessert is usually made with powdered custard. I’m not a huge fan,so here’s a version that starts with a creme anglaise.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 60g caster sugar

  • 500ml milk

  • 100ml cream

  • pinch of saffron

  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom

  • 3 cups mixed fruits:green grapes,mango,red apple,banana,kiwifruit,pomegranate arils

Method

  1. Step1

    Place the egg yolks and sugar into a heatproof mixing bowl and whisk until creamy. Place the milk,cream and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer,watching that it doesn’t boil over. In the bowl,whisk the milk mixture into the eggs quickly,pour back into the saucepan and then return to a low heat,stirring constantly until the mix coats the back of a wooden spoon.

  2. Step2

    Mix through the cardamom,then remove from the heat,transfer to a bowl and chill with a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the custard so it doesn’t form a skin.

  3. Step3

    When the custard is chilled,halve the grapes,cut the mango into 2cm cubes,and cut the apple,banana and kiwifruit into 1cm cubes. Mix all the fruit with the custard and serve.
