I decided to simply follow the Nestle Family recipe .Previously I had tried their Kalakand recipe by following the recipe given on the condensed milk can and it worked like a charm. So here is the recipe for Mango Panna Cotta from the original Nestle Family recipe.

Ingredients:

Hung Yogurt or plain Greek Yogurt preferably full fat.200 g

agar agar 1 tbsp

Water ΒΌ cup

Fresh Cream 200 g

4 tbsps sugar

1 cup (200 g) mango pulp

Β½ cup(50 g) mango diced

Method

1.Add agar agar to cold water and let it stand to soften. ( as per original recipe )


2. Heat cream and sugar together. Whisk lightly. When the cream comes to a boil, remove from fire and add softened gelatin or china grass.

3. Stir well till all the agar agar is dissolved.

4. Beat together the thick hung yogurt and mango pulp, keeping aside 2 tablespoons of mango pulp for decoration.

5. Add the cream and agar agar mixture to the above mango mixture and stir well. You can garnish the top with slivered pistachios.6. Pour into a glass dish, cover with a cling wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Notes

The mango panna cotta can be ladled into individual glass bowls or glasses or ramekins.

You can use the whipping cream to give soft peaks and layer the top with mango bits .

While ladling the panna cotta in individual glasses, you can alternately ladle the panna cotta first, top with mango pulp, again ladle another layer of panna cotta and finish off with piped whipping cream with fruit bits. Visually delightful to see the layered effect. Enjoy!
