Steamed Date Pudding

Soak the dates in milk for an hour or two. Then blend into a puree. Whisk the eggs well and strain.

Now in a bowl, mix the date-milk puree, strained egg mix and vanilla essence. Whisk well to combine.

Grease an aluminium / steel bowl or a baking tin with the melted butter. Transfer the contents into it and steam either in a pressure cooker or steamer for 25-30 minutes on a low flame.

Let it cool down a bit. Then run a knife around the edges and demould it on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped pistachios, dry rose petals and tutti frutti and enjoy.
