Agar Agar – China Grass
Agar Agar comes in 2 forms and I have used both. Agar agar strands are easily available in supermarkets but agar agar powder I have found found only online as its not readily available in my place. Agar Agar is also known as China Grass.
- Agar Agar Strands – Strands are good but they need to be cut down onto small bits or grind to a coarse mixture for it to dissolve easily, also comes in gram measures so a bit difficult to measure in tablespoon.
- Agar Agar Powder – Powder easily dissolves and easy to measure too.
This is the Agar Agar Powder I used – not sponsored just sharing from where I bought. Agar Agar Strands also available in Amazon.

Expert Tips
- I used Alphonso mangoes and Banganapalli combo, you can use any fiber less mango variety.
- I used silicone molds for easy de-molding but you can set puddings in any container steel or glass.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to the sweetness of mangoes.
- Once china grass gets dissolved do not delay add sugar and mango pulp as soon as possible else it will start to thicken.
- Agar agar puddings sets beautifully in room temperature itself but I prefer to chill it for a while to serve Chilled Mango Pudding.
- As I chilled just for 30 mins and it got set by that time, also served it soon after clicking I didn’t cover the pudding. But if you are planning to store the pudding in fridge for a day or more cling wrap or cover with foil and store.

Thanks for the simple recipe. Should the mango purse be added to disdolved agar agar solution when it is still warm? Also does the recipe work well using stevia or palm sugar or date durupayogam instead of sugar ?
Sharmilee J
yes mango puree should be added to china grass mixture only.Not sure with palm sugar but will work with cane sugar
