Ingredients

For jelly:

• 1 and 1/2 cups + 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp rose syrup
• few drops red food color
• 5 gms agar agar china grass

For custard:

• 1 cup full cream milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla custard powder
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 cup jelly

Instructions

• Take 1 and 1/2 cups of water in a mixing bowl.Add rose syrup and pink food color.Mix well.
• Now add sugar,whisk it well until sugar completely dissolves,Set aside.In another bowl,cut agar agar into small bits.
• Rinse it once then add 1/2 cup and let it to boil.Boil until you see the strands completely dissolved.
• Strain to the bowl containing rose water mixture.Mix it well with whisk.
• Pour it in the tray/bowl where you want to set the jelly.Leave it undisturbed for 30mins.No need to keep in fridge it will set well in room temperature itself.
• Boil milk(reserve a tbsp of milk) for 5mins until its bubbles up nicely.Simmer and then add sugar.Mix well.
• To a tbsp of milk add custard powder, mix well to form a runny paste without any lumps.Add this to simmering milk.
• Keep cooking ,slowly it will get thick.
• Cook in low flame and keep mixing so that there are no lumps.At one stage the custard will nicely form a thick coating, it will coat the laddle like this, it should be thick as shown below.At this stage, switch off and cool down completely.
• First spoon the custard as first layer.I didnt want set jelly as I have tried it here so instead scooped out and added it to the glass on top.Serve chilled!

Notes

• I made jelly in bulk for using for other few recipes too so ended up using just 1/2 cup for this.
• You can even make readymade set jellies for this.
