    "Karupatti Pudding Recipe with Step by Step Pictures. Palm sugar pudding is a simple yet delicious pudding made with coconut milk and agar agar"

    Pin

    I came across this recipe few months back. Had bunch of karupatti on hand which was about to go bad. So decided to make a batch of agar agar or china grass pudding. This one is super easy to make. It requires a handful of ingredients which you already have on hand. The whole recipe came together in just few minutes.

    Once the pudding is done, pour it into a large mould and leave to set. Since this recipe uses agar agar, you can leave it at room temp to set. It literally takes 1 to 2 hours to set.

    FAQ? Frequently Asked Questions?

    What is Karupatti?

    Palm Jaggery we are calling as karupatti in Tamil is made from the extract of Palm Trees. It is cooked in a large earthernware pot for hours.. The mixture is then poured into moulds and left to set overnight.

    China grass or agar agar is a plant derived gelatin, which is used in making puddings, jellies and custards. Agar agar is commonly known as China grass in India. China grass is a glossy pudding which is made by mixing sweetened milk with China grass powder.

    Yes both are same. So you can use anyone of both.

    China grass is derived from plants. So it is completely vegetarian.

    Can I use gelatin instead of agar agar?

    Yes you can use gelatin instead of agar agar. In which case you might need to add half the quantity of agar agar.

    Tips & Tricks

    1. I used karupatti which is also known as palm sugar. You can use any type of jaggery as well.
    2. If you don't like the flavour of dry ginger powder, then use cardamom powder or vanilla.
    3. Instead of coconut milk, you can use regular milk.
    4. Never boil milk when added to agar agar. It may separate.
    5. Pudding can be made a day in advance and stored in fridge until serving.

    Serving Suggestions

    Karupatti pudding taste great cold. So I like to set this in fridge until serving.

    Storage Suggestions

    Karupatti pudding can be stored in a air tight container for upto a week in fridge.
