Tiranga Dessert - Simple Milk Pudding

A very Happy Independence Day to all my dear Indian brothers and sisters.

 

Sharing a very simple recipe for the most simplest dessert - The Milk Pudding.

 

In saffron - white - green , is

* carrot - badam halwa (which will come as a separate post)

* white milk pudding

* and the green ? well... read on. ;)

 

 

 

You need :

Milk (full fat) - 1litre

Condensed Milk - 1/4 tin

Sugar - 1/2 cup
 Water - 1 1/2 cups
 China grass (agar agar)  - 10 gm
Cardamom - 3 Nos. crushed

Soak china grass  in water for 10 to 20 minutes.

In a sauce pan, boil milk, condensed milk and sugar.(adjust the sugar - more /less than given above, according to taste, as condensed milk is already very sweet)

In another sauce pan, add soaked china grass with 1 to 1 1/2 cups water and stir well so that they melt.

Sieve the melted china grass into the boiled milk.

Add cardamom powder and stir well.

Divide the mix into two, and into one of the portions add a bit of green food colour !, for the base green layer. Simple yeah ??

 

The question that i got the most when this was served,was..Sona , what is this green layer ?

 

You could be like..well...its a blend of pistas..and..avacadoes..and ..get in all the green stuff you can come up with..except..the fact that its just a drop of green food colour to the white !



 

Scoop a spoonful of the green milk pudding first into the serving bowls..and after slightly cooled, in goes the white milk pudding.

To top, the saffron layer...i made some red carrot halwa mixed with ground pistacios. (recipe following soon)
