Nimish - Uttar Pradesh Cream PuddingNimish – Uttar Pradesh Cream Pudding is a simple and luscious cream dessert from the Awadhi cuisine of Uttar Pradesh, located in North India.

Nowadays it’s common knowledge to most that people with Celiac’s disease cannot consume gluten and many other people prefer to eat gluten free diets. Some say it helps with other medical issues. Others just say eating gluten free provides them with more energy and more mood stabilization. There is some debate in this latter group whether there is any truth to it or whether it’s a fad that many have hopped onto.

Whatever the reason, being gluten free in America is pretty easy now. Simply replacing the wheat in grains with rice, oats or quinoa, there is gluten free everything from bread to pasta to pizza to cookies. Many traditional desserts have received a modern gluten free interpretation in things like apple pie, pound cake and everything else you can possibly think of.

Practically every box in the supermarket says gluten free – even things that never had gluten to begin with – like rice pudding and popping corn. In approaching the BM theme this week of Gluten Free Desserts, I decided instead to represent traditional gluten free desserts from different cultures that were always gluten free. Yesterday I took you to Norway for a delicious citrusy rice pudding and today we are going to the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. This dish is from Nawab cuisine. The Nawab’s were the ruling kings of present day Uttar Pradesh in northern India during the Mughal Empire. Their cuisine has roots in Persia and Central Asia.

It is more traditionally garnished with nuts. However, I think it also works great garnished with fresh fruit of blueberries and kiwi, especially if you have nut allergies. This makes such a fresh and fruity dessert – it’s a great summer time treat! Save it your Pinterest board and make it this summer!

It’s so quick and easy – perfect for summer when you don’t want to be spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

This Nimish was the perfect way to end the meal of my Uttar Pradesh thali. Don’t forget to check out the other recipes of this thali!

  1. Awesome find Mir, I am reading about this for the first time and I enjoyed the intro much..Imagine writing gluten free on a dish that is already gluten free..lol

  2. Even that gluten free mania is slowly attacking European countries as well. i can see many desserts, breads and pies as gluten free nowadays. Cream pudding looks absolutely luscious and highly irresistible.

  3. That is an awesome find, Mir. very sinful and decadent.
    What you mentioned about celiac disease is true as I keep hearing from my friends who have suddenly been diagnosed with celiac disease. I read from multiple sources that gluten is a cause for many modern day ailments and I am sure there is a great truth hidden there and should be cautious in including gluten in our diet. Enjoyed the gluten free series..

  4. That is such a creamy pudding! When I saw Uttar Pradesh (UP), I expected a rice pudding as you mentioned somewhere you want to rice puddings from various countries. Nimish is indeed a good find from UP!

  5. Your desserts are tempting me too much and this Nimish is no exception. Seems to be simple and looks creamy. Would love to try by replacing sugar with Stevia.
