Natural Tasting Mango-Coconut Jelly

#ClickWithCookpad I am bidding adieu to the mango with this amazing Natural Tasting Mango-Coconut Jelly. Bidding adieu to mangoes is like bidding adieu to a loved one albeit it is temporary and I will be welcoming them back again next summer with some more delicious recipes. This is a simple but marvellous looking layered Mango-Coconut jelly which tastes so natural and delectable. The romantic in me believes the interesting tale that mango stands for love. According to Hindu mythology, an evil sorceress had burnt the sun princess to ashes from which the mango tree grew. An emperor fell in love with the mango flower and fruit of that tree. So when the ripened mango fell to the ground, it turned into a beautiful princess!! You need very few ingredients to churn out this Natural Tasting Mango-Coconut Jelly. Living in South India and that too on the coastal line, mangoes and coconuts are available easily and in abundance and both, I use extensively in my cooking. I like to make my own coconut milk as the carton ones contain preservatives and additives which do not give a natural taste.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak 8gms Agar Agar strands in ½ cup water for 15 minutes. Agar Agar is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin and is like a jelly that sets easily. It is easier to use agar agar powder. You can use Agar Agar powder if you want to. I used strands as the powder is not available here. Heat ½ cup water and add the soaked Agar Agar to it. Keep stirring until the strands dissolve completely and have a smooth consistency.

* Step 2

Add sugar and stir for a couple minutes until sugar has dissolved. Turn off heat and add mango puree slowly. Stir well to make a homogenous mixture. Pour it into any mold of your choice. Do not fill to the brim as you will be pouring the coconut layer on top of it. Semi-set the mango layer in the refrigerator before pouring the coconut layer.Soak 4 gms Agar Agar strands in ½ cup water for 15 minutes. Heat ½ cup water and add the soaked Agar Agar to it.

* Step 3

Keep stirring until the strands dissolve completely and have a smooth consistency. Add sugar and cook until sugar has dissolved. Slowly add the coconut milk stirring constantly. Cook for 2 more minutes. Pour gently over the mango mixture. Make sure the mango mixture is slightly firmed up before pouring the coconut jelly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until firm. Slice the Mango-Coconut Jellymango and serve.
