Watalappan is a well known sugary coconut custard pudding that has originated by Sri Lankan Malays. We have a general opinion that it is very difficult to make watalappan properly. So a lot of people used to make watalappan using an instant watalappan powder packet. But there is a huge difference between the taste of an instant watalappan powder packet and a properly made watalappan. Try this simple watalappan recipe at home. I will guarantee that you will never forget the rich taste of your homemade watalappan.

Special notes
•For powdered cardamom, cloves, nutmeg mixture use four or five cardamoms, one or two cloves and a little piece of nutmeg.
•You can steam your watalappan using a rice cooker, steamer or pressure cooker.
