    I always have been a fan of simple cooking processes. Cooking or baking is therapeutic yet I prefer the easy way outs. I am not for complecacies. I prefer readily available ingredients; super easy processes to follow even when I need to make something known to require a complicated cooking process. The Coconut Pudding with Gondhoraj Lebu Compote ticks all the answers and hence is my favorite dessert to make!

    As I already mentioned this dessert calls for only four ingredients and hence I prefer it. However, the subtle flavor and also the balance between the sweetness of coconut pudding and the tangy flavor and the heavenly aroma of Gondhoraj Lebu compote are way more important reasons for favoring this dessert. By the way, you need very basic skills to make coconut pudding with lime sauce. Sounds interesting?

    I mostly make this comforting pudding in the summer. It takes hardly 30 minutes to make the pudding and also the lime sauce to drizzle. Needless to say, I love this and so does the family. 30 minutes of work on a Friday night is all I need to set the dessert for the weekend. Doable isn’t it?

    Gondhoraj Lebu, also known as the king of limes is a popular lime in Bengal. We love it with Kolaier Dal and Aloo Posto, the famous Bengali spread along with steamed rice. This lime is having heavenly aroma and is on the subtle side in terms of tanginess. The famous Gondhoraj Ghol is another example wherein this lime is used. I use Gondhoraj Lebu in many desserts strategically as it is superbly refreshing. The Gondhoraj Lebu compote gives another layer to the subtle coconut pudding.

    Gondhoraj Lebu is one of the main ingredients used in making this dessert, Coconut Pudding with Gondhoraj Lebu Compote. However, there may be a chance that you don’t get Gondhoraj Lime in your area. After all, Gondhoraj Lebu is mainly available in West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh. I am sure that the Bengali supermarkets or stores keep it however if not available substitute it with Kafir lime or Kagji Lebu, whichever is available. If not anything, lemon juice would do. Just change the name accordingly while serving.

    Coconut Pudding: Frequently Asked Questions

    Is it a bit surprising that there is a FAQ section even if I am claiming that the recipe is super easy and calls for easily available ingredients? Well my friend, check the FAQ and let me know whether you have thought about the Q&A I have given below.

    Package Coconut milk or Freshly extracted coconut milk; which works better for a Coconut Pudding?

    Believe me, both Package Coconut milk or Freshly extracted coconut milk both work. It is obvious that freshly extracted coconut milk does not contain preservatives; costs less, but however, tedious to extract. On the other hand, packaged coconut milk mostly contains preservatives, and is high in price yet easy to use! Both have their own pros and cons. I mostly use packaged coconut milk unless Mehebub is ready to help me with coconut scrapping!

    Gelatin or Agar agar, which is the best while making Pudding?

    Vegetarians and also people with certain religious restrictions do not use Gelatin. They prefer Agar agar. We neither are vegetarians nor have any restrictions at home; however, I prefer Agar agar. I never liked the smell of Gelatin and always preferred Agar agar. Both works amazingly. The choice is yours.

    Are Gondhoraj Lebu and Kafir Lime same?

    No, my friend! Gondhoraj Lime, Kafir Lime, and even Kagji Lime are different varieties of lime. All good and specifically with an amazing aroma and perfect for making the lime syrup.

        Hi Nina. If you want it a bit on the tighter side, use around 2 TSP.. Else 1.5 Tsp. is enough.
