China Grass Burfi – Agar Milky Fudge

In Indian cuisine, agar agar is known as “China grass” and is used for making desserts. Agar is my favorite ingredient these days as it allows me to make some exotic desserts(video playlist below for all Agar recipes). Agar-agar is a natural vegetable gelatin counterpart. White and semi-translucent, it is sold in packages as washed and dried strips or in powdered form. It can be used to make jellies, puddings, and custards. For making jelly, it is boiled in water until the solids dissolve. Sweetener, flavouring, colouring, fruit or vegetables are then added and the liquid is poured into molds to be served as desserts and vegetable aspics, or incorporated with other desserts, such as a jelly layer in a cake.
