Mango Pudding - A Summer Delight

This week was very hectic for me. I was loaded with huge amount of work at office and really didn't find time to sit for writing. On top of that my health was bothering me a lot. I had to take a day off from office as I had a very bad cold followed by a bad stomach. After a long time I was not having the energy to do any house work and was lying down most of the time. But you know, when you are lucky to have the most caring person around you, you really don't have to bother much. My husband is really a wonderful person in managing anything. So as I was down with fever and cold, he was cooking the food, caring about me and also working hard in the office.

Few days back I was googling around and found this quick,hassle free "Mango Pudding" recipe and decided to try it. I like mangoes a lot, and specially as it is the season of the varieties of mangoes, this recipe is a must. So on previous Sunday, we went to the city mall here and purchased few mangoes for the recipe. As it is a pudding, I thought of setting it in a mould to give it a shape. While searching, I got this beautiful flower shaped moulds in the mall and quickly bought those.

Though I was not well, but still acquire the energy for this recipe. So on Monday night just after hubby prepared the dinner I took the charge of proceeding with the recipe of "Mango pudding". As the recipe demands the use of Agar Agar or China grass, I told hubby to brought from the local shopping mart.
