Strawberry Pannacotta !! No Egg & No Gelatin !!!

Firstly dissolve the agar agar powder in 1/4 cup water n set aside until use..In a deep pan add the milk, cream and sugar n bring this to a gentle boil..

Once you observe small bubble forming around the edges of the pan add the saffron strands n stir.. Now turn off the heat and add the agar agar mix n stir well..

Grease the ramekins or any small bowls or glasses with butter ..I placed small glasses in angle into another glass dish ..to create a slope effect...

Now pour the cream mixture into it...fill them half way leaving room for strawberry syrup.. Cover/wrap them with cling film..to prevent a thick dry layer forming over the top..

Now place these carefully in the refrigerator for 6 hrs to overnight or until set .. When we tounch with our index it shld spring back without sticking..this means its done...

Now preparing the syrup..in a pan add the chopped strawberries , water n sugar ..bring this to boil .. Lower the heat n keep cooking on medium heat until strawberries turn mushy n soft..

Once cooked completely..turn off the heat ..and allow them to cool.. Later strain the berry mix through a sieve to remove all the pulp n seeds from the mix..

Once its strained add the syrup back to the pan on low heat.. Meanwhile in a bowl take water n add the corn starch n mix without any lumps.. Now add the cornstarch mix to the strawberry syrup..n stir well..

Now bring this to a boil n keep stirring until thickened to pouring consistency ..similar to a dosa batter ... Once thick..cool at room temperature..pls note that it thickens a bit more once cooled...keep it covered in refrigerator until use..

Next morning remove the ramekins or bowls out ..run a knife along the edges of the bowl ...and invert it on to a plate..

For the plating..invert panna cotta on to a plate and pour strawberry syrup ..if using glasses u can pour over the top..garnish with fresh fruits/ cream as per u r taste N serve..

Tastes so creamy n heavely... I'm Lovin It !!! Make n enjoy with u r loved ones !!! We loved it hope you will too !!!
