Summer and season of Mangoes calls for some exotic yet easy cold dessert. It was labor's day. I had plans of making a pudding sometime this summer ,so had bought a packet of agar-agar[china grass] when I found it in a local market store.
I'd never known making a dessert which tastes so wonderful and yummy takes just about 15 minutes of time in all. Here is how I made them.
Ingredients:
1. Coconut milk - 1 cup[Fresh cream - 2 cups]
2. Yogurt - 1 cup
3. Milk - 1/4 cup
3. Mangoes - 3 small ones. [pulp equate to 1.5 cups]
4. Sugar - 1/4 cup
5. Agar-Agar - 2 tsp
Method:1. Boil Milk in a saucepan. Combine coconut milk,sugar and agar agar into this milk.
Let stand for 5 minutes. Bring to simmer and reduce heat to low.
2. Simmer ucovered for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the agar agar is completely dissolved.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Sieve the mixture and whisk in yogurt and mango pulp until the mixture is smooth.
5. Transfer to custard cups and keep it refreigerated until set.
To serve, immerse bottom half of custard cup in hot water about 15 seconds. Run a clean small knife around edge to loosen. Invert onto dessert plate.Garnish with fresh cut mangoes or any other fruit that compliments your taste buds.I had some pommogranate pearls handy and used them to decorate the yummy mango panna cotta.
Try this simple and relishing dessert. I bet you'll try variations of them and let me know the ideas used.
