Cold coffee with coffee jelly || How to prepare cold coffee with homemade coffee jelly

Cold coffee with coffee jelly with step by step pics, tips and video(will share tmw). Hai friends, how are you all doing? Hope you are all doing good. Stay home,stay safe, stay healthy and stay hygiene. I prepared this Japanese coffee jellies by using china grass. Firstly i d't like coffee or tea(but love detox green tea a lot ) but hubby and his entire family cannot live without coffee. But believe me i loved this cold coffee jelly a lot, it is chilled, tasty and creamy.

Youtube link

https://youtu.be/_C0xTfrB9UA

 Adding coffee jellies in it is the highlight. Some information about china grass or agar agar or Japanese isinglass(information from wiki)  is - it is a type of vegetable gelatin extracted from seaweed. This is natural thickener and it is used to prepare jellies, puddings,ice creams, puddings, desserts etc., It is available in the form of dried strands or in powder form. I used dried strands, it is soaked in hot water for 10 to 20 minutes then used. We can also powder the dried strand and use. It gives smooth and glassy look, it set easily on room temperature. And it does not melt when kept out at room temperature so we can use it easily, kids will love to have jellies. 

Taking this chilled, tasty, creamy and jelly cold coffee with coffee jelly to Foodie Monday Blog Hop fb group's #245Loveforcoffee theme.This week theme was suggested by Sasmita, she want us to prepare any recipe using coffee as main ingredient. She is a wonderful and talented chef i love her photography and presentation skills they are very attractive. Check out her space for different varieties of recipes from different regions and Odisha cuisines.  I bookmarked her valentine special cake and lemon crinkle cookies and her recent /vegetable ragi soup to try it soon. Do check her blog for yummy food mesmerising pics. While checking recipes i saw this japanese coffee jelly recipe from wiki, with lots of modification i prepared this recipe.

To prepare coffee jelly

china grass - 7 gms

In some areas of South India mainly Andhra, Karnataka these jowar popcorn ladoos are prepared for nagula chavithi festival / naga puja. This puja is celebrated on chathurthi (fourth day) after Deepavali amavasya during Karthika masam. We can prepare jowar popcorn easily at home, i will share recipe when i get some jowar. It is difficult to get jowar in my place, my mom pack jowar powder, jowar popcorn and some jowar every time go home 😊.  Mom's are always great in packing, while unpacking only you will know why our bags are that much weight😍😂. Jowar is rich in fibre, boosts immune system, regulates calcium, its gluten free. Jonna rotte / jolada rotti is popular and regularly  can say daily prepared recipe in some areas of Andhra and Karnataka.

Taking this super healthy, regional and tasty jowar popcorn ladoos to Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge fb group started by Priya of Priyas Versatile Recipes and taken further till date by Mayuri di who blogs at Mayuris jikoni.

Let's start recipe..


  

                              Jowar Popcorn laddu

Preparation time : 10 min
Cook Time : 30 minutes
Serves : 15 ladoo's
Category : Sweets / Regional
Recipe Cuisine: Andhra, Karnataka
Main ingredient: jowar popcorn
Author : Aruna SarasChandra


   


Ingredients

jowar popcorn - 150 gm 
groundnuts - 1/2 cup
roasted chana dal / putnalu - 1/2 cup
jaggery - 1 cup
elachi powder - 1 tsp
ghee - 2 tsp

Instructions

1) Dry roast peanuts on medium to low flames, when it fry well add roasted chana dal fry for a minute and keep it aside to cool. (** check tips)

2) Now in the same pan dry roast jowar popcorn for a minutes on low flames. If you prepared popcorn freshly then skip this step, use it directly. Take fried popcorn, groundnuts, roasted chana dal in a plate and start preparing jaggery syrup.

3) Soak jaggery in little water and boil till jaggery dissolves in water .

4) In order to remove dust from jaggery strain the above.

5) Now take the above jaggery mixture in a wide pan add few drops of ghee and boil it on low to medium flames. 

6) Boil it by stirring till you get one string consistency. (**check tips)

7) Now add fried popcorn, peanuts, roasted chana dal, elachi powder mix everything well, you can see strings forming on ingredients by jaggery.  

8) Mix the above continuously on low flames, when jaggery strings stops then switch off the flames and let the mixture cool for some time. So that you can mould ladoo, do not leave it long time mixture will become hard. (This is the main step to get perfect shaped ladoo **check tips).

8) grease your hands with ghee, using spoon or any ladle take some mixture and start moulding ladoo. Take care of ur hands, as mixture will be heat, if you let it cool completely then you cannot mould ladoos, then you have to compromise it as jaggery coated popcorn instead of ladoo 😂😉. As i was alone while preparing ladoos i am not able to capture ladoo moulding pic 😁😇. Let the ladoos cool for sometime then store it in airtight container. 

That's it crispy, delicious, healthy and festive jowar popcorn ladoos are ready to serve. Store it in airtight container they will stay crisp for minimum 1 month.

Tips

** You can prepare jowar popcorns freshly.

** You can also add cashew nuts, almonds, raisins to make it more healthy.

** Frying peanuts, roasted chana dal and jowar popcorns will keep ladoos crispy for long time.

** i prefer 1 string consistency to prepare these ladoos as they become hard quickly if wait for thick consistency.

** do not burn jaggery syrup it will spoil ladoo taste, if you feel jaggery syrup burnt then better stop it and prepared syrup freshly.
