[tscii]Ani, here is the boli recipe that you wanted.
I will soon post the layered agar-agar recipe.
BOLI
Ingredients:
250 grms channa dal soaked for 2 hours.
Little salt
250 grms castor sugar
3 cardamom pods
10 tbs coconut stir fried to a light brown colour
1 ½ cups of all purpose flour
2 tbs oil
Little salt
A pinch of yellow colouring
Enough water
Method:
Add the oil, salt, and the yellow colour to the flour.
Use enough water and knead to a soft dough.
Put it in a air tight container and keep it aside for 1 hour.
Add about 3 cups of water, and salt to the channa dal.
Cook on medium flame, till the dal is cooked. ( not too soft.)
Drain the dal, and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
Add the caradamom pods and grind the cooked dal in a mixie,
to a fine paste. Remove to a basin.
Add the stir fried coconut, the castor sugar.
Use your hands and mix all the ingredients to a smooth ball.(no water)
Roll the mixture into small lime sized balls and keep aside.
Take a little dough , flatten a little, put in a lime sized poornam
in the centre, cover the poornam with the dough.
Keep a plate of melted ghee by your side.
Rub a little ghee on to a plastic paper, or banana leaf.
Smear a little ghee on your fingers, and pat the dough
to a about 8 inch disc.
Heat a dosai kal, cook the boli on both the sides on medium
Heat, till little brown spots appear.
You can get about 20 bolis with the measurement.

[tscii]Ani, the agar-agar strands are called china grass.
You can get it in supermarkets.
Nowadays they sell it in powdered form also.
It is very cooling on a hot day.
Try out the recipe.
LAYERED AGAR_ AGAR

Brown layer:
25 grms agar - agar strands soaked for 2 hours

K, should we add coconut milk to 1/2 the agar-agar mix & set the rest as such?...
No Dev, you just pour the milk in the boiled agar-agar.
when you pour the mixture into the tray, the coconut milk will automatically rise to the top.
Only coconut milk has this property.
If you use fresh milk or evaporated milk, the milk will mix with the agar-agar and you will have a milky agar-agar :lol:
Later I will post a recipe, where you pour a first layer, let it set, than, you use a fork to make some markings, later pour in another layer.
Thanks, take care, Kugan98
Note: Do you get china grass in your place?

The one on top is how its packed and sold. The one at the bottom is after soaking and ready for making.
Agar-agar is among the easiest item to cook, maybe next to only boiling an egg. One has to be really inadequate to fail at making it. :devil:
But of course there are many more complicated dishes, made from agar-agar such as the water melon agar-agar below:
