Notes

• Follow the instruction on the package of the agar agar or chinagrass powder. You can also use strips instead of powder.
• You can add sugar to the mango while making the puree instead of adding it to the agar agar mixture for even mixing.
• Always use sweet variety mango like alphonsa or banganapalli for the best taste.
• You can also add few drops of lemon juice for tangy taste.
• Adjust sugar according to taste.
