Watalappam-Home made

My favorite home made sweet (also know as steamed egg custard) is an Koothanallur delicacy. Not neccessarly orginated or perfected in koothanallur, its an staple of our celebrations during EID or other festive occasions.

Orginated mainly from srilanka, this pudding has spread all over the south east asian muslims, malays and moors community. Basic ingrediants of coconut,eggs, cashews, jaggery, milk or cream steamed in a water bath make this an simple prepration dish. Modern versions have included vanilla, essence, caramel toppings,nutmeg, etc.

I remember eating this at eid along with murtaba, jaler koliappam, muttom kurma, when i was small along with my family.
