Note

Indian pudding is traditionally served warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

For added flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter before baking.

If the pudding seems too thick after baking, you can add a splash of milk and mix it in before reheating.
