China grass well known as agar agar is a type of gelatin extracted from Sea weed.It is called as “Kadal paasi” in Tamil.It is available in the form of strands and powder.It is mainly used for making jellies,puddings and custard all over Asia.Once Sendhil told me about china grass halwa he tasted in his office.He told its very good for health and the best body coolant in summer.So i too wanted to try halwa with it and bought a packet of Bakers china grass.At that time i was not aware of other china grass recipes like china grass pudding and china grass payasam/kheer.When i was browsing for some simple agar agar recipes,i got
it here.Its an easy dessert recipe with agar agar & milk.I made it in two flavours.One by adding rose milk essence and other one adding vanilla essence.Raksha loved the white one.Myself & sendhil liked the pink pudding.Soon i must try varieties of this pudding using tender coconut water,mango & pineapple.Its a quick fix and healthy,Indian dessert recipe.Do try it for your kids and yourself.You will love it !

- Take the soaked china grass along with water and boil in medium flame.China grass will melt and mixes with water.Stir it well until they dissolve completely.
- Now add this china grass water through the strainer to the boiling milk.Keep the flame medium and mix well for a minute.Switch off.Milk won't become thick now.It would be in the same consistency.It will set once it starts to cool down.Then divide the milk in two different shaped bowls.Add vanilla essence to one bowl and rose milk mix to the other. Mix well.Let the milk cool down. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- It would be well set.Remove and serve immediately.

Note
- In the original recipe,it was mentioned to use cardamom powder.But I used vanilla essence.
- U can also add few tbsp of condensed milk for more thick & rich taste.In that case,u should reduce sugar accordingly.
