Instructions
-
Prepare the Agar-Agar: Begin by pouring 200 ml of water into a saucepan. Add the agar-agar and set it over low heat, allowing it to come to a gentle boil until the agar-agar completely dissolves, creating a jelly-like texture.
-
Combine with Condensed Milk: In a separate saucepan, mix the remaining 800 ml of water with the condensed milk. Cook this mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn’t stick.
-
Color and Flavor: Once the condensed milk mixture is warmed through, stir in the food color until you achieve the desired vibrant green hue. Bring this mixture to a boil.
-
Whip the Cream: In a bowl, place the Nestle cream and beat it well with an electric beater until it’s light and fluffy.
-
Combine Mixtures: Pour the dissolved agar-agar into the creamy mixture, stirring well to combine.
-
Prepare the Setting Plate: Take a steel plate known as a “thali” (which is slightly raised about 1 inch in height) and sprinkle the cardamom powder evenly across the surface.
-
Pour and Set: Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the cardamom powder in the thali. Let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
-
Garnish: Once it has set slightly, sprinkle the top with chopped nuts for an added crunch.
-
Final Setting: Allow the dessert to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, ensuring it firms up nicely.
-
Cut and Serve: After it has completely set, cut the dessert into diamond-shaped pieces.
-
Enjoy: Serve this delightful dessert after dinner and savor the smiles it brings to everyone!
