Christmas pudding is a steamed rich fruit pudding served during the dinner on Christmas. I have read about the Christmas pudding in an Agatha Christie novel in which Poirot visits a house during Christmas and solves a mystery. The ruby which he came in search of would be found in one of the puddings served on Christmas. I never thought that I will be making Christmas pudding. When I was going through my book shelf I saw this novel and decided on doing it at home. Traditionally pudding has eggs, suet ( a type of fat from animals) and alcohol. I decided to make an eggless, suet free, alcohol free pudding at home. I saw a vegetarian version of the pudding at Titli's Kitchen but still it had eggs. So I adapted Titli's recipe according to my preference and ended with a flavourful, delicious, moist, rich pudding. This is steamed for 6 hours and once cool you need to remove it from the mould. I am having this pudding mould for so many years but never once used it. And finally it came to use and I am so so happy for recreating this in my kitchen.
