Vrat ka fruit custard or fruit custard prepared for fasting is a recipe which makes me go wow! Fasting in Indian culture requires us to follow a certain diet that is eggless,gluten free and grain free. After making this recipe, I am sure I am not buying corn flour powder separately. After making apple kheer yesterday, we wanted to use the same technique to make a good eggless custard.It turned out better than we expected!
Easy vrat recipes are a huge world of gluten free vegan dishes.

Notes
Variations
Rajgira/Amaranth flour has a slight aftertaste when you make vrat ka fruit custard. Sabudana/tapioca flour is more neutral. You may use either of them. If you are particular, you may add teaspoon of cardamom powder or few drops of organic vanilla extract (not commercial essence while making for vrat).
Top tip
If you want to serve custard after some time, store the chopped fruit and custard mix separately. Once you add citrus fruits to the custard, it must be served immediately. If you keep it for long, it will release water later and changes consistency.
