Sugary chunks of Litchi and Peach Agar-Agar To all the Muslims everywhere, Happy Ramadhan! The Ramadan month calls for special mouth-watering recipes especially for the "Sungkai" (breaking the fast) time. My family and I usually make this really simple dessert for special occasions. But it's also great for any other day!
Litchi and Peach Agar-Agar
Ingredients:
1 pkt Flying Swallow Brand Agar-Agar Powder (any colour desired)
5 strips of Pandan leaves
500g Sugar (+- depending on your desired sweetness)
1 ltr (or 900ml) water
1 can of Litchi (Lychee)
2 halves of Peach (from a can - Ligo brand)
Method:
Cook the agar-agar as instructed on the packet only to add the pandan leaves together. To prepare fruits, dice up litchi an peaches into small chunks and scatter cut fruits onto a 23cm by 2 inch deep round dish. Then, pour cooked agar-agar into dish and set it aside to cool before putting into the fridge to chill. Using a sharp pointed knife, cut into desired size and serve while it's cold.
*Tip*: This recipe makes 2 dishes of agar-agar. Use half can of Litchi and half of a peach for each dish. You may also use any other fruits such as Mixed Fruit cocktail, kiwi, rambutan etc. Remember, make sure to dissolve the agar powder in the water before bringing it up to a boil. You do not want the agar powder to clump and be wasted.
Will post some more Ramadhan recipes soon and i'll try to put up a pic of the cut agar-agar once it's set! Enjoy your weekend!
