ABOUT Eggless vegan layered black rice and mango soya jelly RECIPE

A completely original recipe made from gorgeous organic black rice that was gifted to me from Dubai. Eggless, vegan and awesomely pretty with its purplish hue and the saffron adding a touch of India :-D

Ingredients Serving: 10

Black rice - 50gm(1/2 cup)
Sugar to taste - approx 1/2 cup
Salt to taste - a pinch
Dry fruits like raisins or blackcurrants - as desired
Mango flavored soya milk - 200 ml tetrapack (any local brand)
Agar agar powder (china grass) - 10 gm + 10 gm
Saffron - a few strands for garnish
Chia seeds for garnish (optional) - 1 tbs

Instructions

Pressure cook the black rice in 1.5 cups of water ie 1:3 by volume. Allow it to cool and keep aside. Keep aside any extra water if present after cooking.
Add the sugar and salt and blend it in the mixer to the desired consistency. I kept it coarse.
Add the black rice water from the pressure cooking(if any), to some plain water to make 1/2 cup of liquid. Mix 10 gm agar powder and the ground boiled rice and boil for 5 min until the agar dissolves.
Mix in the dry fruits if using and pour into a transparent bowl and set in the fridge. You can tip the bowl carefully with some suport, to obtain a slanting layer.
Wait for the rice layer to set firmly. ONLY then, mix the mango soya milk with the other 10 gms of agar and boil for 5 min or until the agar dissolves.
Cool slightly and pour it over the rice layer. Do this quickly or the soya layer will set before you can pour it (you will not have this problem if you are using gelatin to set)
Sprinkle saffron strands and chia seeds as garnish.
This sets in less than 10 minutes. Have it cold.
