Instructions
1
In a small saucepan, whisk the chickpea gram flour with 50g of the water to form a smooth slurry with no lumps.
2
Bring the remaining 90g water to a simmer in the saucepan, then whisk in the sugar until fully dissolved.
3
Pour in the gram flour slurry while whisking constantly, and cook over low-medium heat for 6-7 minutes until the mixture thickens into a glossy, pudding-like paste that pulls from the sides of the pan.
4
Pour the hot mixture into a shallow tray or small dish and spread it level to about 1.5cm thick.
5
Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firmly set.
6
Once set, cut the pudding into small irregular cubes or scrape into rough curls with a spoon.
7
Stir the pinch of salt into the chilled coconut milk.
8
Divide the pudding pieces between two small bowls, top each with crushed ice and a generous spoonful of salted coconut milk, and serve immediately.
