China Grass Pudding Recipe

China Grass Pudding

I actually have tasted this pudding in a lot of my muslim friends houses. I’m not very keen on this, but i prefer it moderately. Moderately means i can gulp one piece a day. Kadal paasi can also be called as china grass or agar agar in english and it’s used as a vegetarian substitute for gelatin. It’s going to help to set the pudding like a jelly.

That is the primary time i’m trying my hands on agar agar, I actually have used gelatin in most of my puddings and believe in them. But after trying this recipe, i’m loving the feel of agar agar too. You’ll be able to take a look at my mango cheesecake, mango pudding and cherry panna cotta where i’ve used gelatin as my setting agent.

Ingredients for China Grass Pudding Recipe

• Agar Agar / China Grass / Kadal Paasi – 15 grams
• Water – 1 cup / 250 ml

Certainly one of my viewer requested this recipe using the recipe request form, so i need to try it post the recipe here. I ringed my trusty friend jafrin again and got the recipe. She told me that, You’ll be able to either make this with milk or coconut milk and in addition she insisted me to heat the china grass on a low heat, so it doesn’t burn and melt properly. Although it is tough for me to make the china grass dissolve completely, so i took a extra step to strain the mixture and make it so silky.

One other point which she mentioned is, you’ll be able to make it in any flavour. You’ll be able to add vanilla essence, pineapple essence or anything. It’s also possible to add boost or any chocolate drink powder on this too. I actually have to try that soon. But this version is the normal one. Hope you’ll like this and let me know in the event you try it.
