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

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.
