Lagan nu Custard is made with eggs and is delicious!
Recipe from my mother Parin Homi Munshi. More recipes in cookbook. Order HERE.
Ingredients
6 cups milk or 3 cups heavy cream
1 slice bread
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence OR 1 tsp Rose Essence
3 tsp Charoli nuts Garnish (or garnished with almonds, pistachios – your choice)
Method
Boil the milk, on slow heat, till two-third is left. Let it cool. Avoid this step if using heavy cream.
Mix in a blender the cold milk or cream, sugar, eggs, bread slice and vanilla essence.
Put in baking dish and mix in Charoli nuts and/or Pistachios and Almonds.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.
The top should be golden brown.
Cut into rectangles and serve at room temperature. This custard can be made ahead and refrigerated for a week.
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).
