Tri Colour Panacotta

Tri Colour Pannacotta

On 15th August India is going to celebrate its 72nd Independence Day. It is a day of pride and pleasure for every Indian. Every one celebrate it as per their choice. when I was a kid I used to go to school early in the morning, then there would be flag hoisting  and then parade and distribution of sweets. Now I miss those days. Being a home chef I thought of celebrating this auspicious day by preparing a beautiful tri colour sweet dish, PannaCotta.

PannaCotta is an Italian cold dessert. It is a sweetened cream thickened with gelatin or agar agar ( for vegetarian version) and molded. It is a melt in mouth dish. I have given Indian flvours to this pannacotta as it is independence day. Here is the recipe..

Milk- 500ml

Condensed Milk- 200ml

Milk Powder- 7tbsp

Water- 1/2cup

Sugar- a tbsp (option-al)

Orange Colour- 1/4tsp

Green Colour- 1/4tsp

Saffron- 1/2tsp + few for garnishing

Cardamom powder- 1/2tsp

Pista Extract- 1/4tsp

Pista- 5 to 6 for garnishing

Agar Agar- 8gms

Soak agar agar in normal water.

Heat milk in a sauce pan, then add condensed milk to it and mix properly. 

In a cup add milk powder and water and mix without lumps.

Now add this milk powder mixture to the milk and cook. after 5 mins add sugar and allow to melt in.

Add soaked agar agar to it and stir continuously so that agar agar will melt in.

Now divide this liquid in 3 separate bowls.

In the 1st bowl add kesar and orange colour. In the 2nd bowl add cardamom powder and mix. In the 3rd bowl add pista flavour and  green colour.

In a glass pour green colour pannacotta first. Then keep it fridge up to bit firm. Then pour white pannacotta and keep in fridge. Finally pour the orange pannacotta and keep in the fridge to set. It will take 6 hours to set

Garnish this pannacotta with pista and kesar. 

serve cold.
