Recipe Swap Challenge

I have already told you guys about this group on FB where we will be paired with our fellow bloggers and we have to recreate any of their recipes. Isn’t it great? This is my second time participating in this challenge and I was paired with a talented blogger and good friend Mayuri Patel. She blogs at Mayuri’s Jikoni.

Why Chia Seed Pudding

She is an amazing person and an awesome cook. Her recipes are mostly Indian and Kenyan influenced. She had some mind-blowing recipes. It has been a tough time for me to choose. But I had to use up some chia seeds which I got recently. So I was searching for it and found this recipe. She also had lot many other lip-smacking desserts too. Do check it out.

Health benefits of chia seeds

Chia seeds are rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids. It is rich in fiber which helps your digestive system. If you are on a mission of weight reduction, then you have to include these seeds in your diet.

Pumpkin chia seed pudding

In the original recipe, she used strawberry and kiwi to flavor the pudding and I used my homemade pumpkin puree as I had a lot after Halloween. Yes, still I have it after making some Pumpkin Roti, Pumpkin Cake. So what’s the better way to use it other than this? The result was a delicious Pumpkin Chia seed Pudding. Hope you will give it a try.

How to make pumpkin chia seeds pudding

Making this pumpkin chia seed pudding is easy if you already have pumpkin puree. I used homemade but you can use store-bought. One thing you have to remember is to soak the chia seeds with the rest of the ingredients for at least 5- 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Then it’s just assembling. You can top it with any of your favorite nuts or chopped fruits.
