EGGLESS CARAMEL PUDDING

My family loves caramel pudding.
I found in the net a recipe for eggless caramel pudding.
I was over joyed and made it at once.
It was a disaster for me. The whole thing was like soft porridge.
It collapsed when inverted on a plate.
The recipe gave me some idea as to how to make it.
I tweaked the recipe making changes here and there.
Finally I made the caramel pudding.
Taste appadi onnum ahh haa ohh ohh illai.
Something is better than nothing.
