  1. Hi,
    Is it possible to replace the bread with biscuits. If yes, how many biscuits should I add. Do you recommend any particular variety?

  2. I follow all your recipes with great zeal.I write them down in my cook book.I came across this recipe and tried it. It was delicious.I wanted to ask you, can I use brown sugar instead,if so ,is the caramelization procedure same with brown sugar?Thankyou for your wonderful recipes and picture explanations.5 stars

    1. thank you sindhu for sharing this. yes, you can use brown sugar. brown sugar will caramelize faster than white sugar. to caramelize brown sugar, add some water. brown sugar has more moisture than white sugar, so you will need to add less water. so you can add about 1/2 to 2/3rd tablespoon water for 2 to 2.5 tablespoons sugar. the amount of water to be added will also depend on the size and type of brown sugar. so add less or more water accordingly.

  3. Thanks for the great vegan dessert recipe. It came out great. Added some cardamom powder to the milk and bread mixture. The result was pretty good. Nice and easy recipe.4 stars

  4. I tried this pudding and it turned out great..!! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Looking forward to more such simple yet tasty dishes.☺5 stars

  5. Hi..I tried to make the pudding just now but it didn’t turn out like yours. It turned out to be kinda like creamy? Like not solid like a pudding supposed to be. Was I overheating it? And I didn’t mashed it but I blended the bread instead. 6 slices of bread with 375ml milk right? Please help out.

    1. the quantities of bread and milk os right. could be since you blended the bread, thats why it needs to be steamed more. no worries. just steam for some more minutes. you can put the pudding back in the pan and steam for some more minutes.

  6. I have been looking for an easy stove top bread pudding reciep for a long time. So glad that you have posted this. I am gonna try it today in a stove top pressure cooker.
    I want to know a few things before I do. Do we have place the pan on stand in the cooker? And do we have to cook it on high heat first for a few minutes (after closing the lid)?

    1. thanks ayesha. you can place the pan on a stand. it will be better as then the chances of water falling in the pan will be less. no need to cook on high heat.

  7. Hii Dear Dassana. ..today I tried ur pudding . It came out very well..but the texture of this pudding turned out somewhat gooey and dense…is it right or texture might be light…wt about the texture of pudding made by u?? Plzz let me know and guide me..

    1. samreen, the texture of the pudding is soft and not dense or gooey. its exactly the bread pudding one gets outside. if the pudding gets over steamed, then it will become dense. i am not sure about the gooey part. why the pudding was gooey. either it will become dense or gooey.

      1. Yess…it was not like the soft pudding we get outside….it was dense.. yess…as per ur guess…I might overcooked it?
        Next time..I ‘ll take care while cooking the pudding. ..thanxx for ur guidance Dear Dassana di?

  8. Can we use a steamer ( Tupperware’s SteamIt) !? If yes, pls temme de method and suggestions!5 stars

    1. you can use. but i do not know how this tupperware is used. so unable to help you. if you have the instructions manual, then you can check in it or see on their website or a youtube video.

    1. usually with steel containers, it becomes difficult to remove or unmold the pudding. if you are fine with having or serving the pudding from the steel container, then you can use it.

  9. How can I make caramel sauce for topping off the pudding with? I imagine the method above will give a saucy caramel.?5 stars

  10. Seems great! I’m definitely trying this one. Can I replace vanilla and corn starch with custard powder?

    Also for caramel what will work better- white sugar or brown sugar?

  11. noth my pan loaf and cake pan are too big to steam…can I bake this instead? what would be the ideal temperature and time?3 stars

  12. Hi Dassana. I want to try this recipe but I don’t have cornstarch. Can you recommend me any other substitutes for cornstarch? Thank you.

  13. I ve been making a lot of ur recipes for a long time… As I am from Mumbai n married to an UP Jain family, it was world’s apart for me. But ur blog helped me a lot. I made this Caramel bread Pudding n Lauki halwa today for a gtg, n got lots of praises all thanks to u dear. Just love you

  14. Hi dassana, all your recipes are very gud and I have tried some of these too.
    I want to add egg to this recipe. So, in which step I should add it.
    Is that adding one egg enough?
    Please advice.4 stars

    1. thanks jameela. one egg is enough. don’t add corn starch if adding eggs. beat the egg first very well. then add the beaten egg to the milk along with sugar and just lightly warm it. don’t heat too much. just warm the milk till the sugar dissolves.

  15. hi dassana,
    after reading the recipe i made this caramel pudding thrice, my MIL makes excellent caramel pudding, but along with bread she also adds eggs.. the first time i made the water from the cooker went into the mixture .. somehow we could eat it .. taste was OK … then second time i made it in the Idli maker … and yesterday again i made and it looked nice and tasted good.. practice makes a man perfect ….. thanks a lot for sharing dassana .. take care

    regards

    1. welcome marina. in the first try did you keep the whistle on the cooker? because then the water can go inside. the whistle has to be removed and then steamed. i agree practice brings perfection. thanks for sharing positive feedback.

      1. Hey dassana. no ya i dint keep the whistle… probably there was to much water and when it was boiling the water went inside … but the idle maker also works.. in that there is no chance of water going inside….. and today i made your leftover rice pudding recipe … which was very nice… just did not add the cinnamon powder… and tomorrow will make mango falooda … wow ………

        take care and thanks for replying…

        regards

  16. And please also tell that the custard powder need to be mixed in 1 or 2 spoons of water like when we make custard and then added to milk or it should be added raw to the milk? Please reply to this and the previous question as soon as possible. I need to make it tomorrow itself.

  17. And also, this is my last question, do i need to add vanilla extract though i am adding custard powder?

  18. So the amount of custard powder should be the same as corn starch because i am using custard powder instead of corn starch?
    And i have to add custard powder without mixing it in water?

  19. Can we add brown n polson’s custard powder instead of corn starch? Please reply as soon as possible.

  20. Hi. We tried this pudding & it was delicious. We do have one suggestion & one correction. The suggestion is that only white bread should be used because using brown bread makes the pudding look an unappetising grey color. The correction concerns the steaming-in-a-pan process. You say that “please note that the amount of water to be added depends on the size of the pan. the water should touch about 1 to 1.5 inch above from the base of the pudding pan.” However, the pudding pan floats in the water!! So there’s really no control over the level of water.4 stars

    1. thanks rajiv. yes white bread will look more appealing. but brown bread is more healthy. if you use homemade brown bread then the color does not become grey. when you soak store bought brown bread in the milk then milk becomes brown in color and may not look appealing. for me, the pan never floats. some times i use pots and pressure cooker for steaming and it has never happened that the pan is floating.

  21. Hey !

  23. pudding turned out to be very yummy. Everyone at home loved it. Keep posting such wonderful recipes….4 stars

  24. plz let me know can i add banana smashed with bread to this recipe…

    We love ur almost all recipes…4 stars

  25. This recipe is amazing. The pics reminded me of the pudding my mom used to make. thank you for the recipe. I am definitely going to try this one4 stars

  26. hi mam, i made bread pudding, it turns nice, but when it is cooled, which was not that much puffed as i seen in the picture, i think it is for over steam. give suggestion . bye

    1. the pudding does not puff up. what you see in the first picture is double the quantity of pudding i had made with the same recipe. over steaming will make the pudding hard. if the pudding was soft, then it was not over steamed.

    2. Thk u for this ausum recipe… i made it tat in ur way u told… it bcms nice which u shownin pic…5 stars

  27. Hi dassana

    I wrote to you yesterday but could not see my post so posting another one..
    I wanted to try this pudding but i dont hv rice cooker..can i use any other container or may be a normal cooker..if yes pls mention the steam time also..in case i use cooker then shall i remove the whistle and simply cover it with lid? Also as mentioned i need to prick holes in alumni um foil so if we cover it with lid will the water formed from steam not form drops over aluminum foil adding moisture on pudding?

    1. hi swati, we didn’t receive your comment yesterday. usually by night i answer all the comments. yes you can use any other pan or pressure cooker. remove the whistle from the pressure cooker. just cover tightly with its lid or any steel plate or round lid. yes you need to prick holes in the foil, otherwise due to steam, the pudding becomes soggy. there will be not be much water, as it will get evaporated through the snout on which the whistle is placed. the water will not fall. just make tiny holes and not big ones. steam for 20 to 25 minutes in the pressure cooker.

  28. Tried the pudding, Dassana turned out awesome! Thk u…used mixie to blend the bread just one blend and followed recipe as above.

  29. Today I made the bread pudding.

    I used multigrain bread ( Sugerdough brand in Pune)… Overall very good consistency after setting it in fridge for 3 hours..

    Somehow I felt the pudding was bit too bready…thogh I added homemade vodka vanilla syrup …

    Next time I am going to try with some tangerine zest and little orange juice to see if this pudding has flavour..and maybe some dry fruits.

    Overall good experience with just bread , milk and sugar..

    1. thanks manoj. i think its due to the multi grain bread. whole wheat or white bread does not give this texture. orange juice and zest will give a good flavor and even dry fruits will add a lot of texture.

  30. Hi, finally I have prepared the pudding and trust me it was just wowwww…I mean awesome…I loved it a lot. I had actually made it twice within this span of time…Thank u for making me get in love with this dish….

  31. This looks amazing. I am going to try it over the holidays. Love bread pudding!!
    I have tried many of your recipes and they come out really well. Made your ragada pattice yesterday. Was a big hit! Thanks for your simple recipes and step-by-step instructions. Really helps.

  32. Hi Dassana,
    Got encouraged after seeing this pudding in ur site.Just followed the steps u mentioned and prepared this,last saturday.
    It came out so well:) Thanks a lot!!4 stars

    1. thanks gayathri, yes you can. in india what we call as corn flour (white colored) is corn starch. so its the same. maize flour is yellow colored which we use for making makki ki roti.

  33. Hi,
    To my surprise after an hour wen i opened d cooker it was amazing to see it was cooked.. my heart was really filled wit joy… after it got cool down i refrigerated.. is it good to transfer d pan immediately to refrigerator wen it is hot? In d morning it was lovely to see d colour n really superb taste.. my first pudding came excellent ly.. but next time i will try to bake with sand tray underneath. Thank u so much for an encouraging dish..

  34. Tried it without the vanilla essence as I didn’t have one..turned out that only the middle part was still sticky after good hours of refrigeration and my top caramel layer tasted bitter. I pressure cooked for 25 mins. Could u pls tell what went wrong?

    1. stickiness means that the middle part needed more cooking. the bitterness is because the caramel got to the point of getting cooked too much. just a golden brown color and then the burner has to be switched off. if its cooked more, it gives a bitter taste.

  35. Wow! I have always heard of bread pudding with egg, this solves a lot of problem. Pls update the baked version also. Would love to do the baked version.

  36. Hi Dassana,
    Love your recipes! Awesome work!!
    Just a question here.. Can I pour the caramel into individual cupcake moulds and bake them instead of steaming??

  37. Hi,
    i tried this., was upset as it didnt cook still in semisolid consistency after 1hr in normal cooker.. as water got evaporated in medium flame,, ve to pour water n closed it,, even then moderately cooked., preparation went verywell. I used to do cakes with my mom in an aluminium cake container with centre hole n sand below in a centre hole plate., it takes exactly 45min in low flames.. i wish i had dat now…

    1. oh.. so the water got evaporated. these things have happened with me too. but i add water and then let it cook. but it should not take so long. did you remove the whistle while steaming? let me know. something has gone wrong.

      1. Hi,
        I saw ur rply nw .Whistle was taken.. but everything went well in d end..amazing results., cooking is awesome with vegrecipesofindia.com. Dependent on it now a days sooo much to have an appetising, mouth water ering dishes… keep it up. God bless u.

          1. Hi,
            i was on a fast in d morning,. After dat had two pieces of d pudding with hershey s chocolate syrup slightly spreaded, tasted amazingly .., even postponed my lunch little later,, everyone at home enjoyed it..

  38. The pudding is really yummy and mouth watery. I am not so much fond of puddings but the dish snap u have mentioned changed my mind and is literally forcing me to prepare at least once. I have jotted down the recipe and process and gonna prepare it soon. Will share the feedback with u for sure. thank u for the recipe.

  39. hi,

    this looks very yummy with simple ingredients available at home.. first time am gonna try such pudding…thank u for ur encouraging dish…5 stars

  40. Excellent as always. My daughter will love this. Thank you.I have been making the egg version but me and my daughter could never eat as we both are vegetarians. I will make this right away.

      1. Hello Dassana,
        I tried this recipe. But it happened that the caramel got a burnt taste :3 the sugar when caramalised looked like given in the picture but tasted burnt! Could you please tell me the mistake that happened and precautions for next time ?

        1. as you mention, the burnt taste is because the caramel has got slightly burnt. melt the sugar on a low flame and keep on stirring or rotating the pan, so that the sugar caramelizes evenly.
