To mixer jar add 2 nos roughly chopped mangoes. I used 1 Alphonso and 1 Banganapalli.
Grind it to a smooth pulp. Do not add water. Measure 1 cup mango pulp and set aside.
To a sauce pan add 1/2 cup water.
Add 1 cup milk(boiled).
Let it start to boil.
Add 2 teaspoon agar agar powder.
Give a quick whisk so that agar agar powder dissolves well.
Add 1/4 cup sugar. Add 2 tablespoon sugar extra if your mangoes are not sweet.
Whisk well until sugar is completely dissolved.
Now add 1 cup mango pulp.
Whisk well until well combined.
The mango and milk mixture should be combined well. Switch off. Do not cook for more than 2 minutes after adding mango pulp.
Immediately pour to a strainer.
Strain and remove remains if any. This straining is done to make sure there are no lumps.
Now pour into pudding molds or any small cups. You can use steel cups too.
You can either set this in room temperature or in fridge. Set it for an hour. I usually set it fridge as we love our deserts cold.
After an hour release the edges. You can even dip the mold bottom in warm water to unmold.
Invert and remove the mold gently.
Garnish with chopped mangoes and a small sprig of mint leaves.
Release the edges by running a knife at the edges.
Invert and demould.
Garnish fresh mangoes chopped and a sprig of mint leaves.
Delicious Mango Pudding Ready.
