Notes

• Stirring in between as mentioned is very important to ensure even cooking.
• Do not reduce the sugar amount,as it will change the glossy look too and end up in porridge ;)
• The whole process is made in microwave high power.
• According to oven the cooking time varies plus or minus 2-3 minutes.
• Consume within one or two days. Refrigeration changes the texture so it is not recommended.
• There is a easy way to remember the recipe. 1 part corn flour,3 parts sugar,4 parts water. i.e; which ever cup u use, use the same cup and follow the ratio. Simple.
