CHINA GRASS ANDÂ GELATINÂ IS THE SAME MAKING FROM WASTE OF ANIMALS. TRY TO AVOID IT.
Dear Maria..
I tried making this pudding.. i think i messed the china grass.. can you please explain how to actually go about it!!
Thanks
Hi Ayshu,
The pudding may not set if the china grass used is kinda old. Apart from that I’m not sure why it happened.
Hope it comes out well next time.

Hi Maria,
This is a really nice pudding. I make a variant of this one at home where in, i heat sliced pineapple, with some sugar added, until the water from the pineapple evaporates. Then I add some grated coconut to this. The above mousse is added on top of this layer before placing to set.
Good one again!!

Hi Maria,
Your pudding looks great but i should try this once. Do you have the receipe of caramel pudding? I would like to know how to make it with pressure cooker. If we are using microwave oven should we preheat and bake as cake or just microwave it? PLease let me know.
sheena
Hi Sheena,
Thank you :)
You can see the caramel custard recipe here:
https://mariasmenu.com/desserts/caramel-custard
I’ve mentioned the pressure cooker method in the recipe & I’ve also mentioned how to cook it in steamer/appachembu in the comments section.
I havent tried it in MW, so I’m not sure about how it works..
Hope you will like it…
Cheers

Hi. Just wanted to know which coconut should i use . The dry one or wet one. And can i add rose water in it if yes how much.
Hi Natasha,
I used freshly grated coconut for this recipe.
I havent tried adding rose water yet, but I guess its ok, if you like its flavor. May be you can add around 1/2 – 1 tsp of rose water.
Cheers
Maria
I want to make this pudding. Can you please help me..how do you measure 10 gms china grass strands. Like in cups or tablespoons…thanks in advance for your help! Great site btw!
Hi Vandana,
I’m not sure whether I replied to you earlier. However if I havent, I’m so sorry. I missed your comment somehow :(
I usually get china grass bars here and each bar weigh 10 gms, so I havent measured it in cups or spoons. However I did a small google search and found that 2 tsp china grass powder is approximately equivalent to 10 gms china grass strands. Hope this helps…
Cheers
Maria
Hey maria, this serves how many people?
Hi Ameena
The above quantity serves 6-8 people.
Regards
Maria
Looks spectacular! I make a very light and refreshing rose flavoured china grass pudding, and colour it pink for even more beauty. Here are some pictures on my blog: http://mangosoup.blogspot.com
Hi Jenni

If I am using china grass powder, how much of it would i need for this recipe?
Hi Divya
I havent made the pudding with china grass powder, so am not sure about the exact measurement in terms of powder. However I did a quick search in google and found out that 10 grams of china grass strands is equivalent to 2 tea spoon of china grass powder.
Hope this helps. If you make the pudding with the powder, please let me know the result, so that I can update it here, thanks.
instead of china grass u can use jelatin.Make the custard,and then let it cool .For 2cups of custard ,1tb jelatin is enough .Messure the custard and add jelatin.
which custard is being talked about here??
Hi Archana,
I think they are referring to the condensed milk+milk mixture as the custard.
Cheers
Maria
Hi Roopa
You can use gelatin instead of china grass, but I dont know whether the quantity of gelatin required is same, also the method might be different since gelatin is usually melted using double boiling method. I will try to get some more info about this and let you know.
can i use gelatin instead of china grass?
