Method :
Mix 3 tbsp of custard pwd with 1/4 cup of cold  milk and make sure there are no  lumps .
Use the small stove of the gas and a thick bottom pan .
Boil milk in pan as the milk comes to boiling point lower the gas and add sugar .
Stir and then add the custard milk .
Keep stirring  till the custard mixes with the milk .
As you pour the custard ,the milk will thicken .Leave for 10 minutes on slow gas for the custard to cook but keep stirring in between .
Don`t have to stir continuously .Just make sure that it does not stick at the bottom.That is why it is necessary to use thick bottom or a non stick .
After 10 minutes close  the gas and leave it to cool .Keep stirring in between so that no layer form on the custard .if you leave it , a thick layer will form .you only have to stir in the beginning .
If in a hurry keep it on a bowl of ice water .
 Let the custard cool in the fridge for an hour .
Cut the fruits in small pieces  .
Put fruits of your choice in a bowl and spoon the custard over it and add dry fruits .
 Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg pwd .
Drizzle it with honey and enjoy the fruit custard .
