The turmeric roots from my garden produced some wonderful aromatic and pure, organic turmeric powder. This gets regularly added in food at home. And very often as golden milk. Now it’s no longer fun. It is holiday time and we are hungry all the time…this leads to new experiments like the turmeric arrowroot custard flavored with cardamom
On the other hand the summer heat has begun to show its colours and the bright sun makes me crave for something cold yet sweet. Something like a creamy custard I can sneak into for their middle of the night too. My better half said middle of the night hunger pangs are because you eat early… Well I would say he doesn’t know a food bloggers head… It just runs back to food anytime it’s awake.
Now, midnight hunger need not have unhealthy stuff, so here we go with a lusciously smooth seductive turmeric cardamom eggless custard with with berries nuts and edible flowers.
Oh.. So yumm yummm
You have got to try this one. For the creaminess that an arrowroot custard has is unimaginable.The lightness is added by the berries and edible flowers, so to it don’t have a weighted down custard dessert.
The recipe is perfect for sit down dinners, elegant evenings and even for a simple family get together with kids running in for second and third helpings. The left over of this recipe is all for the stealing in midnight’s… Or the early morning quick spoonful… So make extra. Scroll down for the recipe below…

Corn flour is the common custard thickener, but the arrowroot powder gives a more luscious feel to the custard. For a bit of something extra i have used a few basil seeds and dried rose buds crushed.. You can play around with these or more.
