Expert Tips

• I have tried the same pudding using agar agar strands and it did not set this well so I have used agar agar powder here.
• If you want a more jiggly pudding you can add 1 and 1/4 teaspoon agar agar powder.
• I have not used any other flavoring here as I wanted the full flavor of tender coconut but cardamom powder blends well with this pudding you can 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder if you prefer.
• If you want to add agar agar strands then add 10 grams for this recipe. Cut the strips soak it in tender coconut water then heat it up so that dissolving is easier.
• I did not strain the agar agar mixture as it gets dissolves easily. If using agar agar strands it is better to strain and add.
