Instructions
    To prepare mango panna cotta
  1. 1
    Prepare the mango cream
    • Clean the mangoes and extract the pulp 
    • Blend the pulp into a puree
    • Filter the puree using a fine mesh to remove any fibers or fruit lumps
    • Add the puree back into the blender
    • Add half of the heavy cream
    • Blend for 10 seconds or until the mango and cream have blended well.
  2. 2
    Prepare the panna cotta base
    • Add 5 teaspoons of water (at room temperature) in a small bowl and mix the agar agar powder so that no lumps remain
    • Bring the whole milk and remaining cream to boil in a thick-bottomed saucepan with flame on medium heat.
    • Add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves
    • Once the liquid starts to boil, add agar-agar solution. Reduce the heat and keep stirring for about 5 minutes. 
    • Remove from heat.
    • Add the mango cream and mix well.
  3. 3
    Cooling the Panna cotta
    • Divide the panna cotta base into 8-10 molds or ramekins (numbers may vary depending on the mold size)
    • Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature.
    • Refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours to ensure that the panna cotta has set well.
  4. 4
    Serving
    1. Once the panna cotta has set, remove the ramekins from the refrigerator.
    2. Slowly stretch the edges of the ramekin so that panna cotta separates 
    3. If you are using a glass bowl or any other container instead of a ramekin, run a thin knife along the walls to separate the panna cotta from the container. Turn the container upside-down slowly and the panna cotta should slide out.
    4. Place the panna cotta in a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped roasted pistachios and serve.
