I made this Semolina milk pudding a few days back, it was really nice too, but the problem was when I mixed cold milk with the semolina and added it to the hot milk it went really lumpy LOL. I tried again, only this time I added the toasted semolina to the milk while it was cold and I stirred it continuously until it boiled and reached consistency, then followed the other steps. Turned out great in the end!

That is interesting Andrew. I have not had this problem, as long as I mix the semolina in a little cold milk, before I add it to the hot milk. You do have to stir it continiously. It is a bit like making a roue.

I am glad you liked it, I like all milk puddings. they are very popular in India in one form or another.

Yes it was really good, Mamta. I intended to make your original kulfi ice cream recipe a few days ago but I never got around to it. I have all the ingredients in to make it now so I will give it a try when I get time and I'll forward on a few pictures for you. Kulfi is one of my favourite ice creams. I did have a recipe for making kulfi that used condensed milk, but you had to boil the tins for a long time until it turned into a syrup...I've since lost the recipe :-(

I mixed the toasted semolina in cold milk until it was a thick paste, but I think I did something wrong. I normally make it by adding the semolina to cold milk, and stir constantly until it comes to a boil. My mum makes it by making a paste and adding a little milk at a time (like a roue) until the right consistency is achieved. Maybe I misread the instructions.

I tend to heat the milk in the microwave, just warm so not fridge cold and add that to the hot semolina and that works quite well. Try that if you like.

er...I didn't look at the recipe Andrew was refering to, Suji kheer, so my tip doesn't apply here. I heat the milk and add to hot semolina when making Suji Halwa - a dry semolina sweet - I get lumps with that too so add warm milk to the hot semolina to avoid lumps. Sorry!

This is so interesting Shalini, I have never had lumps in semolina halwa. I wonder why you get lumps.
