Confinement Recipe: Papaya Milk Dessert

Confinement is a rest, relax and rejuvenate period for me. Sometimes after breastfeeding and feeling both peckish and thirsty in the late afternoon before meal time, I love a healthy dessert to tie me over without piling on the pounds.



This simple and tasty dessert is also a cure for constipation and helps in increasing breast milk supply.

Ingredients:
1 whole ripe papaya
1tbsp rock sugar
250ml milk
Small slice of ginger, if baby has no jaundice.

Steps:
Wash papaya and pat dry.
Cut off top part of papaya to use as a "pot lid".
Decore papaya to remove seeds, empty papaya will look like a "pot".
Cut the bottom of papaya so that the "pot" can "stand" on its own.

Pour ginger, rock sugar and milk into the "papaya pot" and close "pot lid".
Place onto a plate or bowl to fit steamer.
Steam for 45 minutes.
Serve hot.



Tip: If in a rush, skin and cube the papaya then place all ingredients into a bowl that can fit into steamer.

Bon appetit!
