Mango Jelly Recipe with step by step pictures.
I wanted to try mango jelly using agar agar or china grass as mittu loves jellies and I always feel content to give her homemade jellies instead of store bought ones.
This mango jelly recipe is very easy to make with just few ingredients in hand.
Either fruit based ones or flavoured ones, she just love it so this is another way to sneak in fruits for kids who refuse to eat it as such.As mangoes are in season thought to try this mango jelly and it came out so good.
Agar agar or also called as china grass works like a charm for making jellies and puddings.It sets so well and does not let out any after taste too so am making the best use of it.

I use weighing scale to measure
Patricia Collins
3 grams of agar-agar threads or flakes is 0.1 ounce (in weight). It’s more common to find threads or flakes than entire sheets of agar-agar. This product is easily found in the U.S. or U.K. in Indian grocery stores.

What are the adjustments to be done if we’reusing gelatine instead of agar agar?
Patricia Collins
Gelatin does not give the same results as agar-agar. Gelatin is more “wiggly.” If you can’t find agar-agar, the substitution is 1:1. One teaspoon of powdered plain gelatin can be used in place of one teaspoon of powdered agar-agar.

Love the recipe and it’s ideal for Halloween treats for the kids – thank you so much! I tripled the recipe but found I needed to only double the agar agar amount as I was using powder. So I think 2g of powder for the 2 portion serving is the right amount. Just in case anyone wants a tried and tested substitution!
