Mango China Grass Pudding

Mango Pudding is a combination of both delicious and healthy dessert. Agar Agar is a great natural substitute for gelatin which is obtained from sea weed and has various health benefits.

China grass is one of the prime elements during the month of Ramadan in our household. Each day there will be different variants of pudding made out of China grass on the Iftar table.

But that doesn’t stop me from making it any time of the year because it’s tasty 😋.

It sure is a easy to make dessert especially when you are expecting guests at home or for potluck party. You can prepare it well in advance and forget about it by allowing it to chill. This reduces much of the hassle during such situation.
