Basil Seeds Pudding with Mangoes [Tookmaria]

As a kid and even now, I find that drinking basil seeds is very fun. These seeds are also known as tookmaria in Mauritius and those who grew up on the island must surely all be fan of Alouda which is a milk drink with sweet basil seeds. Quite a traditional drink and also popular to drink in the Port Louis Central Market.

It is absolutely yummy, maybe next time I will do a post on alouda drink 🙂

So coming back to my childhood memories, I used to take a spoon and catch one by one seed and burst it between my teeth. I have to admit that I used to do the same thing while studying at university. It was destressing me while studying.

Well now let’s tackle kid’s little snack. Today I have used the basil seeds for a pudding type with mangoes 🙂
