What to make with the ingredients some weeks really has me stumped, but then I'm not a Vegan chef, only try going plantbased at least once a week for my family!
Take a peek for yourself and show us your secret combos using the ingredients from this week's @lotusshares' Plant Power Cooking Challenge | Week #6 | Come Join Us!!
The only pairing I could see work was a Sago Pud combined with Carrots, but I had never tried that before.
Lo and behold, when I turned to granny Google for advice, there it was; a North Indian Sugar Free Dessert called Carrot & Sago Kheer by Spoon and Fork.
I had to adapt it as they used dairy milk and I could not get all of the ingredients but the end result was a real treat plus it was quite easy to put together.
My sweet tooth needed a bit more sweetening so I cheated with my serving by sprinkling a little brown sugar & cinnamon powder on top, which made it even more yum!
I know...I know...sugar is bad for one, but hey, a gal needs to be naughty at times not so;)
Sago Pudding is very popular here in South Africa, but it's a light and fluffy one with the addition of eggs, so adding carrots was a whole new ball game for me.
The fact that hubby is a type 1 diabetic made this idea even more appealing, as I'm always on the lookout for a treat that he can also enjoy.
