Rose Pudding (Eggless)

When you say a pudding is eggless, there are only few options like custard powder, cornflour, gelatin , agar agar and may be a few other options too.  To me the last one agar agar is always the best.  Agar Agar is a must in Iftar particularly for people in South India.  There are some foods cools you down  when you have it but they don't cool the inside of your body.

  Only a few foods they cools you down when you have it as well as they cool the inside of your body.  Agar Agar is one of the food which has the quality of both.  Agar Agar is nothing but a gelatinious substance obtained from the cell walls of red algae.  Agar Agar is also a vegetarian substitute for gelatin in pudding, jelly, ice cream etc.  You can play with this agar agar and create so many different types of puddings and jelly.  Just flow your creativity and create different eggless pudding using agar agar.  Here goes my simple recipe using agar agar.

Preparation Time: 5  minutes
Cooking Time: approximately 20 minutes
Makes 6 Roses

Ingredients:
Agar Agar- 2 tbsp ( broken pieces or powder)
Milk- 400 ml
Condensed Milk- 2 tbsp
Rose syrup- few drops

Method:
Add the crushed pieces of agar agar to a pan and add about 150 ml of water.  Heat the pan in medium to low heat and let the agar agar dissolve completely.  Once the agar agar looks soft, mash with a back of a spoon to dissolve it completely.  At this stage add the milk slowly and keep stirring constantly .  Once you add the milk you might notice a few bits of agar agar floating on top, to dissolve this completely keep stirring until it dissolves completely and looks smooth.  Finally add the condensed milk and stir well.  Take it off from heat and let it cool down for a while, don't let them cool down completely , it might set.  So after a few minutes taking off from heat, add the rose syrup and dissolve well.  Now you can pour them in different fancy mould or just pour in 9 inch cake tin or plate and let them set.  Once set, keep it refrigerated and serve it chilled.

Note:
Instead of rose syrup you can also  use other flavorings like vanilla, cardamom, saffron, almond etc.
