What should be right way of making it in the microwave?
Hi Parizad, I have not tried lagan nu custard in the microwave ever!
I will look out for this method. Have you ever made custard in the microwave ? If so, do let us all know how to make it. I suppose you could use a blow-torch to caramelize the top after making it in the microwave. 🙂

Can it be cooked on slow gas flame
Custard is usually baked as in the recipe, however it can be cooked in a pressure cooker container and steamed (on a low flame).
