Guava pudding/perakka pudding

The best part being back home is you can easily go to your backyard walk around and pick up any of the fruits or veggies available and turn them into something special and serve your loved ones.  Once the mangoes and jackfruits emptied the garden, there bloomed my lovely guavas.These days our backyard serves us with plentiful of guavas. So each day we have to do  something special. I make myself sure that none of them get wasted, considering their health benefits. We made shakes; on raw guavas we sprinkled some chilli powder and salt over it and ate. OOopps still it's mouthwatering. After that came the guava pudding , a bit different and tempting.
