Masala Chai Panna Cotta

Hello all beautiful people. Thank you for stopping by.

A friend of mine was planning for a potluck on occasion of Fathers Day and I decided to get some fusion dessert for everyone. As I am still learning and trying to cook some new delicacies I decided to log onto FB and started to search for something new and interesting which can be liked by people of all age groups. This how I stumbled upon one of friends status update who was celebrating his birthday and was enjoying masala chai panna cotta and this is how I decided on my dessert dish. I checked some videos on internet to see if anyone had uploaded this recipe. I came across two videos and then I decided to prepare this with my style and with ingredients available at home. So lets dive in this fusion world.

Ingredients - 

1. 3-4 teaspoons tea (depending on how strong flavor is desired)
2. 3/4 cup water
3. 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
4. 1/2 cup sugar (increase or decrease as per your taste)
5. 1 teaspoon agar-agar
6. 1 1/2 teaspoon chai masala 

Directions - 

1. Dissolve the agar-agar in 2 tablespoons of water or as instructed on package and set aside. 
2. In a sauce pot warm the water and add tea & masala, let it boil until the tea is strong. Add the cream and sugar and warm until the mixture just begins to boil. 
3. Take off the hear and add the softened agar-agar and mix until dissolved. 
4. Pour into any utensil of your choice, I used shot glass. 
5. Garnish with fresh fruits of your choice or honey jelly or keep it simple just like me. 


Tip: I had originally planned to top this with some honey jelly or garnish with fresh fruits however, as there was some travel time and considering summer I decided to keep it simple to avoid taking any risks so garnished it with slivered almonds. 

Look forward to hear your views and opinion. 

Happy cooking !!


P.S. Do you see how creamy it is... I was so happy to see everyone enjoy it. :D
