Method
- Mix the two milks in a pan. Sprinkle in the ground cardamom and warm through. Bring to the boil, whisk in the semolina and beat well to make the mixture smooth.
- Reduce the heat, add the sugar and simmer for a minutes to thicken the semolina. Pour it into the prepared cups or moulds, cool and leave to set in the fridge. It will take a couple of hours, or leave them overnight.
- To make the sauce, remove the skin and stone from the mango. Put the flesh into a food processor with the lime juice and whizz until smooth. Sieve it to make it smoother, if you like, and sweeten it with some icing sugar (to taste), but you'll probably find it's sweet enough.
- To turn out the puddings, dip your forefinger in hot water and carefully run it around the edge of the surface of the pudding to ease it away from the mould. Place a plate over the top and give the puddings a good shake to turn them out. Spoon some mango sauce round and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
