He invented it for his wife who was allergic to eggs. A great alternative for not only those who are allergic to eggs but also for those who are vegan.\u00a0\u00a0This is very popular in India because most of the population prefers egg-free cakes and bakes.\u00a0<strong>But please check the pack&#8217;s ingredients before you buy because some custard powder brands contain egg and\/or milk powder.<\/strong>\u00a0Here in UAE, I have used Foster Clark and Al Alai brands and both are equally good.
